"Sublime beauty" was the subject of Peter Henry Emerson's decade-long photographic journey into eastern England's rivers, lakes, and marshes. His mesmerizing images capture the gentle rhythms of a vanishing agrarian life, the beauty of water against sky, and the eloquence of the landscape.

Director Gulu Monteiro, a pioneer of gesture-based theater
|
|
|
The Ipanema Theater Troupe shakes up ancient Greek theater with martial arts, dance, and drumming that evoke the ecstatic madness of the cult of Dionysos. The god of wine and theater challenges the traditional Greek order in Euripides' classic drama, transformed by director Gulu Monteiro into "an intense mystical and ritualistic experience."
Free; a ticket is required. Tickets available beginning Thursday, April 19, at 9:00 a.m.
