SHORTS @MCASD1: READY TO POP

THUR Nov 5—SUN Nov 8, 2026

Shaken, stirred, and irrepressible shorts with the kinetically combustible energy of a new era. From calisthenic subversion, butoh rock-climbing duets, frankensteined language animals, beachy body consciousness, heat map letters home, and a hot body issue.

 

SHORTS @MCASD2: PHASE RELATIONS

THUR Nov 12—SUN Nov 15, 2026

Three works which explore surprising histories that overlap, reinforce, and sometimes interfere, from an alliance between Indian and African resistance to Portuguese colonialism, queer secret societies, and an encounter with a musician in Morocco who opens portals to other worlds.
