February 24 – March 17
Highway 1, USA: First up is an uplifting film by trailblazer William Grant Still, hailed as “the Dean of African American Composers.” Norman Garrett and Nicole Heaston star as a hardworking Black couple determined to build a better life, whose years of sacrifice are misguided.

 

The Dwarf: Next up is a Gothic tale of one-sided love in a decadent Spanish court. Tenor Rodrick Dixon stars in the title role opposite audience favorites Erica Petrocelli and Kristinn Sigmundsson in Alexander Zemlinsky’s The Dwarf. Last staged at LA Opera in 2008 to critical acclaim, Oscar Wilde’s fable is brought to life through a lush and romantic score.

ARTEONICA*: Art, Science, and Technology in Latin America Today

ARTEONICA* revisits a lesser-known Latin American art movement, initiating a discussion between a group of innovative computer artists from the 1960s and 1970s, and contemporary Latin American artists whose work is influenced by their legacy. Despite the political and social conflicts across Latin America in the ’60s and ’70s, artists in the region explored the interconnectedness of art, science, and technology during that time.
