We love Cat Lauigan's work. We heart our neighbor Oakland. We're stoked that Cat is from Oakland and hopes that means she's back visiting this coast soon!

William Kentridge's RETURN OF ULYSSES at Project Artaud

If the drawings, short films and theatrical installations of William Kentridge have left you un-satiated and longing for more, perhaps you'll consider attending his multi-media opera The Return of Ulysses (yes there's puppets), presented by SFMOMA at Project Artaud Theater this week. I attended the preview last night. Here's a few sneak peaks--





THE RETURN OF ULYSSES
An opera by Claudio Monteverdi
Directed by William Kentridge
Revival directed by Luc de Wit; produced by Pacific Operaworks, Seattle; musical direction by Stephen Stubbs; featuring the Handspring Puppet Company of South Africa

All shows are SOLD OUT except for tonight's benefit: Wednesday, March 25th 5:30-10 PM

Also, the exceptional and profound exhibit WILLIAM KENTRIDGE: FIVE THEMES is on display through May 31st at SFMOMA. http://www.sfmoma.org/pages/exhib_events
