Several interesting events are coming up in the next couple of weeks. From October 18-21, Opera Cabal, a new artists’ collective focused on experimental theatre and opera, is presenting “Delusions: Chicago 2007″ at the Zhou B Art Center in Bridgeport. From Nick DeMaison, music director of Opera Cabal:
“The performances themselves are a bit all over the map, but all very “avant-garde.” The short descriptions would go like this: Opera Cabal is staging a chamber opera; Asylum is free jazz; Sonic Inertia is dance with live music; dal niente is a bit more traditional concert-music; Nonsense Company is theater; Third Coast Percussion Quartet is…well…a percussion quartet; and Phyllis Chen plays toy piano with live video accompaniments. Each day offers a totally different lineup of shows surrounding the centerpiece of the opera.”
And the opera is about what again? It’s a chamber piece that “charts the unlikely account of eleven thousand virgins on a sacred journey of death”…. Sounds like fun time for all. I’ll be there! Check out the Opera Cabal blog for more information.
One of my favorite storefront theatres in Chicago, GreasyJoan & Co., is holding a benefit on Friday, October 26, called “boo.scream.thump in the night” at the textartspace gallery in the Fulton Market district. Art, food, drinks, and actors reading ghost stories - not your typical weekender.
