SUMMARY:Jazzmeia Horn Family Matinee at Harris Theater for Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Age Recommendation: PNC Family Series is recommended for children and adults ages 4 and older. However\, children of all ages are welcome! \nJazzmeia Horn is a vocalist and composer\, author\, activist\, educator\, multi-GRAMMY Award nominee\, and winner of the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition. Praised by The New York Times as “among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz\, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter\, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present\,” Horn makes her Harris Theater debut with performances on the Mix at Six and PNC Family Series in 2024. \nHorn\, who will publish her first children’s book — based on her forthcoming album Messages — in 2024\, is creating a special storyteller-style program for the PNC Family Series that will premiere on the Harris Theater stage. Blending works from her GRAMMY-nominated albums and stories from her life and career\, the program will engage audiences of all ages in Horn’s unique sound and musical influences. \nThis afternoon is designed to offer a safe and welcoming experience for all\, with additional resources available to patrons who may have sensory sensitivities. We are thrilled to foster an informal\, judgement-free atmosphere where all audience members can respond to the performance in their own way: clap\, dance\, make noise\, or observe quietly\, it’s completely up to you! \nSensory-friendly services include: \n1. A designated quiet play area located on Level 2 if you need a break from the performance\na. Need help find this quiet play area? Harris Theater staff are happy to direct you.\n2. A Welcome Guide and sensory-friendly maps are available to help you understand what you will see and hear during your visit\na. Need to find a paper copy of these resources? Harris Theater staff on at our Welcome Table on Lobby Level 5 can help you!\n3. Friendly faces of trained staff and volunteers\, here to help guide your visit \nAccessibility: ASL\, audio description \nhttps://www.harristheaterchicago.org/performance/jazzmeia-horn-family-matinee

SUMMARY:Live Arts | Wu Tsang: MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale at Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:In MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale\, award-winning filmmaker and visual artist Wu Tsang embarks upon a feature-length\, silent-film telling of Herman Melville’s great American novel. The film features original orchestral music composed by Caroline Shaw and Andrew Yee with Asma Maroof\, which is performed live by the Chicago Sinfonietta. \nThis adaptation\, written by Sophia Al Maria and directed by Tsang\, follows the white whale above and below the surface of the water\, developing a visual cosmology that resists the exploration and exploitation of the earth under imperial colonialism. Tsang’s approach pairs the classic story of the whaler’s ”floating factory” with the beginnings of the film industry. MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale was shot entirely on a soundstage combining silent-era filmmaking techniques with Virtual Production\, a virtual reality game engine projecting surreal ocean environments. \nThe narrative is interwoven with extracts by the Sub-Sub-Librarian\, a character played by acclaimed poet Fred Moten\, and tackles the novel’s subterranean currents\, encountering the resistance of the ship’s hydrarchy\, or organizational structure\, and collectives of “mariners\, renegades\, and castaways\,” as described by historian C.L.R. James. Exploring overlapping histories of industrialism\, extractivism\, colonialism\, ecological and spiritual crisis\, the film creates a multilayered surreal filmic adaptation of the 1851 novel. \nThe MCA’s presentation of MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale is organized by Nolan Jimbo\, Assistant Curator. \nThe film contains brief nudity. \nAudio Description and CART captioning are provided for the February 16 performance. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/live-arts-moby-dick-or-the-whale/

SUMMARY:ANTIGONE at Court Theatre
DESCRIPTION:BY SOPHOCLES\nDIRECTED BY GABRIELLE RANDLE-BENT\,\nASSOCIATE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR \nAs Antigone mourns her brothers\, she must decide if she will sacrifice her life to balance the scales of justice. Associate Artistic Director Gabrielle Randle-Bent’s interpretation of Sophocles’ masterwork – featuring Aeriel Williams in the titular role and Timothy Edward Kane as King Creon – renders Antigone electrifyingly alive\, situating this tale in our modern conversation about the price of democracy\, and asking – crucially – if it’s a price we’re willing to pay. \nThis event will have ASL interpretation\, assistive listening devices\, audio description\, and wheelchair accessible seating. \nTouch tour will begin at 12:30pm. \nAntigone
