$32, $25 members<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isolation, contagion and instability: Fruits\nborne out of rust, conceived of and directed by internationally known Japanese visual\nartist Tabaimo, uses drawings, video\ninstallations and live music to probe these unsettling themes that lurk beneath\ndaily existence. Her intricate animations transform the stage into a wood floor\napartment, a large birdcage that traps the dancer with a dove, and a line of\ntatami mats that swallows the dancer whole. Tabaimo’s collaborator,\naward-winning choreographer Maki Morishita, mischievously blends the subtle movements of the\ndancer’s fingers and toes with the dynamic drive of her limbs and torso,\nenhancing Tabaimo’s peculiar and introspective world. The March 6\nperformance is followed by a MetLife Meet-the-Artists Reception. The March\n7 performance is followed by an Artist Q&A.<\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokyo Godfathers<\/em>, the acclaimed holiday classic from master director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Perfect Blue<\/em>), returns to theaters in a brand-new restoration. In modern-day Tokyo, three homeless people\u2019s lives are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve. As the New Year fast approaches, these three forgotten members of society band together to solve the mystery of the abandoned child and the fate of her parents. Along the way, encounters with seemingly unrelated events and people force them to confront their own haunted pasts, as they learn to face their future, together. Co-written by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop<\/em>) and featuring a whimsical score by Keiichi Suzuki,\u00a0Tokyo Godfathers\u00a0<\/em>is a masterpiece by turns heartfelt, hilarious and highly original, a tale of hope and redemption in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The March 9 screening is presented in Japanese with English subtitles, with the March 11 screening presented in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
