14 Biography & Memoir Book Club: The Indifferent Stars Above
Biography & Memoir Book Club: The Indifferent Stars Above2023-06-14T13:00:00Join the Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown
In April of 1846, twenty-one-year-old Sarah Graves, intent on a better future, set out west from Illinois with her new husband, her parents, and eight siblings. Seven months later, after joining a party of pioneers led by George Donner, they reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains as the first heavy snows of the season closed the pass ahead of them. In early December, starving and desperate, Sarah and fourteen others set out for California on snowshoes, and, over the next thirty-two days, endured almost unfathomable hardships and horrors.

15 Theatre Dybbuk Performance Art: "The Villainy You Teach"
Theatre Dybbuk Performance Art: "The Villainy You Teach"2023-06-15T18:00:00The character of Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice has long been a source of debate. Some have argued that his is an antisemitic portrait with long-lasting effects on the perception of Jews in our world, while others have stated that the character is a nuanced portrayal that, especially given the time and place of his creation, is empathetic to his plight. Often, at the center of this debate is found a speech in which Shylock proclaims his humanity while defending his vengeful desires.
In The Villainy You Teach, Theatre Dybbuk explodes this famous speech and, through the use of heightened theatricality and repetition, investigates the ways in which language can both take on a wide variety of meanings and lose all meaning through persistent examination and exposure.

June 21: Nayak the Hero (Bengali with English subtitles, 1966, 117 min)
Satyajit Ray seamlessly integrates rueful flashbacks with surreal dream sequences in this sly, satiric, psychologically rich meditation on art, fame and regret. A brash matinee idol (Uttam Kumar) on the brink of his first flop is sent reeling down the path of self-examination when interviewed by a journalist ( Sharmila Tagore) while on route to receive an award. Bengali with English subtitles.
