In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on behalf of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no protection or security from the U.S. The article drew national attention to the humanitarian crisis and the moral scandal. Based on Packer’s interviews in Baghdad, Betrayed tells the story of three young Iraqis—two men and one woman—who are motivated to risk everything by America’s promise of freedom. Betrayed explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis themselves and between them and their American supervisor, as they struggle to find purpose while a country collapses around them. Betrayed is directed by Pippin Parker and features Jeremy Beck, Aadya Bedi, Mike Doyle, Ramsey Faragallah, Sevan Greene and Waleed F. Zuaiter.
Nominated for the Lucille Lortel award for Outstanding Play!
“The clarity of the writing, the urgency of the story being told, and the fine performances give the play a sharp dramatic impact and a plain-spoken beauty.”
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

PRICE: $10 for non-members;2 Free tickets for Brooklyn Museum Members

Born in Tokyo in 1962, Murakami is one of the most influential and acclaimed artists to have emerged from Asia in the late twentieth century, creating a wide-ranging body of work that consciously bridges fine art, design, animation, fashion, and popular culture. The exhibition © MURAKAMI explores the self-reflexive nature of Murakami’s oeuvre by focusing on earlier work produced between 1992 and 2000 in which the artist attempts to explore his own reality through an investigation of branding and identity, as well as through self-portraiture created since 2000. Two works examining these subjects were a part of a group show, My Reality: Contemporary Art and the Culture of Japanese Animation, presented at the Brooklyn Museum in 2001. Among the works included in this large-scale survey tracing the trajectory of Murakami’s artistic development are many of his acclaimed sculpture figures including the 23-foot-high Tongari-kun (2003–4); Miss Ko2 (1997), a long-legged waitress who has become one of the artist’s signature characters; and Hiropon (1997), a Japanese girl jumping a rope created by milk spurting from her gargantuan breasts. Among the paintings on view will be Tan Tan Bo (2001), as well as Tan Tan Bo Puking—a.k.a. Gero Tan (2002).

DATE: Sunday, April 6 – Sunday, June 29
PRICE: Free for CAAL Members (regularly $5)
HOW: CAAL members can receive free admission by presenting their CAAL membership card at the museum.
The Flushing Remonstrance was drafted in 1657 and signed by a group of Flushing residents who were offended by the persecution of religions outside the established Reformed Dutch Church. More than a show about the distant past, the exhibition seeks to explore the continued relevance of this unique moment of tolerance within our distinctively diverse environment. Embracing the notion that art can and should actively address and engage contemporary issues, QMA has invited five contemporary artists - Emmy Catedral, Takashi Horisaki, Sara Rahbar, José Ruiz, and Tattfoo Tan - to partner with religious institutions in Flushing to create works that respond to religious dialogue and exchange.

Pan Pan's punk rock sensibility strikes a fierce chord in this savvy update of Sophocles' classic drama of the ultimate dysfunctional family. They bring decidedly modern twists and ample humor to their explorations yet stay more true to the thrust and themes of the original then you might first think. Oedipus is still counseled by the wise Tiresias, but the sightless sage is now a Freudian analyst and ex-Glam Rocker. Sexual desire runs unchecked and tensions still seethe, but now the backdrop is the barbecue grill of Oedipus's suburban hideaway. Then the psychodynamics are literally amplified as the characters take up rock instruments to channel their rage in live music sessions that are integral to their group family therapy.

The writings of Harlan Ellison, like those of Philip K. Dick and Kurt Vonnegut, were once marginalized as science fiction; but now his hugely popular work (nearly 2000 published stories and some of the best episodes of “Outer Limits” and “Star Trek”) has defined its own genre. In this hilarious portrait, Ellison’s fecund imagination is matched by his nearly limitless supply of outrage. A 27-year labor of love, by Erik Nelson, producer of GRIZZLY MAN, who throws in Ellison’s pal Robin Williams for good measure.

Life In A Blender come equipped with a violin, cello, horns and a touch of absurdism, bringing a vaudevillian energy to their much-loved stage show. Critic Francis Heaney says: "If They Might Be Giants got hammered and picked a fight in a bar with Tom Waits, if Mark E. Smith were articulate and friendly, if dancing were permitted on your boss's desk -- then a brief glimpse of something akin to the experience of hearing Life in a Blender might be achieved. They are a band that is passionate about finding the absurdity that lurks within the marginalia of mundane everyday existence. ... They make me feel like transcendence is constantly achievable."

Limit to 4 tickets per person.
Working to reconcile an interrogation of the social and aesthetic status quo with a love for fully realized, full-bodied dancing – rigorous, sensual, and extravagant -, Really Queer Dance with Harps explores the traces, residue, and ephemera of lived experience. Expanding his signature method of movement creation by collecting material for this dance from videos of each of the dancers improvising, Neil’s Really Queer Dance with Harps is accompanied by a live original score for acoustic harps by Zeena Parkins and lighting design by Michael Stiller.

Yosvany Terry, recognized as a "spectacular talent" on the jazz scene, will be playing Ye-dé-bgé & the Afro-Caribbean Legacy. This project was recently commissioned by the Stanford Jazz Workshop to explore the enduring legacy of the Arará culture that came from West Africa and continues to thrive in Cuba and throughout the Caribbean. These influences can also be felt in the United States, as the Arará's folkloric traditions trickled into the early music of New Orleans, later developing into jazz.

Werner Herzog travels to Antarctica's McMurdo Station, a community of 100 — and, as one critic notes, it's like the earth was turned upside down and all the weirdoes fell to the bottom. The filmmaker's idiosyncratic humor, intelligence and curiosity posit the magnificence and profound mysteries of nature against the equally unknowable phenomenon of human beings who choose to live and work in this remotest of glacial landscapes.
"Few filmmakers make the end of days seem as hauntingly beautiful as Werner Herzog does, or as inexorable…" (The New York Times)

Jake Fairley is one of a few North Americans to figure into the grand narrative of techno over the past few years. Under his guise as Fairmont, at the end of 2005, Fairley made one of those storied dance tracks that introduce a new sound (not a style, but a specific sound) to mark a time and place on techno's long-term trajectory. DJ Three is undeniably one of the most promising DJ and producers to come out of the USA. He has produced some stunning productions under the monikers of Second Hand Satellites, Three AM, and Montage Men.

Before the performance, enjoy a reception with fellow CAAL members and a discussion with Grzegorz Jarzyna, Susan Feldman, the founder and Artistic Director of St. Ann’s Warehouse, and Anna Frajlich-Zajac, Senior Lecturer in Polish at Columbia University's Slavic Languages Department.
