SUMMARY:Will Rawls\, [siccer] at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Will Rawls presents a new interdisciplinary work\, [siccer]\, that addresses the relationship between blackness and image-making through a live performance accompanied by a video installation on the museum’s first floor. \nEncompassing dance\, photography\, and sound\, [siccer] experiments with stop-motion\, a filmmaking technique in which subjects incrementally shift positions between photographs to produce the illusion of movement. Throughout the performance\, an automated camera snaps an image every few seconds while the intervals between shutter clicks offer brief interludes when the camera fails to capture the dancers’ movements. As the performers improvise during these gaps between photographs\, they rescript the terms through which blackness and queerness are made visible. [siccer] is also being presented as a video installation on the museum’s first floor throughout the duration of the Frictions suite\, beginning on April 6. \nAccessibility: captioning\, ASL interpreted\, audio description\, assistive listening devices \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/will-rawls-siccer/

SUMMARY:The Cherry Orchard at Goodman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A family verges on bankruptcy while their country stands on the brink of revolution. \nEndings and beginnings. Bittersweet departures. The comedy of life. When Madame Ranevskaya returns to her heavily-mortgaged estate on the eve of its auction\, the aristocratic widow finds that the fate of much more than her beloved orchard hangs in the balance. Anton Chekhov’s canonical masterpiece is an exploration of loss\, love and how to live in a society that’s changing fast. Following his critically-acclaimed productions of Three Sisters\, The Seagull and Uncle Vanya\, director Robert Falls takes on the last of Chekhov’s four major plays. \nCaptioning will be provided for this performance. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Cherry
