Fisher Center, LUMA Theater  4:00 pm EST/GMT-5
Adapted and directed by Whitney White
From the play by Anton Chekhov 

A young ensemble takes a fresh look at Chekov’s enduring classic about how we survive when the systems we trust fail. Featuring original music for piano, guitar, saxophone, and flute, the ensemble cracks open the strange and fragile connections between 1900s Russia and 2018 America: false comforts, identity, the destruction of dreams, and the triumph of women. Runtime is 1 hour 48 minutes, including one intermission.

The NSU Monologues
Actors for Human Rights Germany
Campus Center, Weis Cinema  7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Between 2000 and 2007, a far-right terrorist group known as the National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered 10 people in Germany, nine of them of immigrant backgrounds. The group’s racist and neofascist ideology echoed the belief systems of other right-wing organizations, including the white supremacist Blood and Honour. In 2011, after a failed bank robbery, two members of the NSU committed suicide while the third member, Beate Zschäpe, turned herself in. In the ensuing trial, which ended in July, it became clear that German intelligence agencies had known of and even colluded with the NSU. The failures of the security authorities to stop the group’s crimes highlights the persistence of structural racism in Germany.
 
Written and performed as documentary theater, The NSU Monologues features the words of three relatives of the NSU’s victims: Elif Kubaşık, Adile Şimşek, and İsmail Yozgat. The stories of Elif, Adile, and İsmail testify to the survivors’ courage and determination. Whether they marched at the head of a funeral procession, organized demonstrations, or demanded that a street be renamed in the victims’ memory, their small acts defied the narrow “official” accounts of German authorities. With their testimonies, they reclaim a space for a historically accountable and antiracist mode of remembrance.
 
This performance will feature the work of Bard German Studies students, who have translated the original German-language script into English.

From Thales to Higgs: A Very Physical Promenade
Massimo Schuster
Olin Hall  7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Through various anecdotes, some true, some made up, but always plausible, I start with Thales, move on to Empedocles and Aristarchus, spend some time with Plato and Aristotle, then jump all the way to Einstein. All along, I use a simple language, understandable to everyone and hopefully entertaining. My goal is to explain how the world in which we live is at the same time simpler and more complex, but most of all more marvelous and fascinating, than most people think.

Without trying to sell myself as a specialist of scientific thinking, which I'm not, my goal is to explain why physics is for me a constant source of inspiration and wonder.

The show is free and open to the public. However, we ask that you reserve a seat by emailing Hal Haggard ([email protected])
