Angelinos,
If you do nothing else in the next two weeks please make a point to see INVISIBLE CITIES, a dance-based operatic experience that will leave you feeling good, better, beautiful...like all is right with the world. This collaboration between LA Dance Project, The Industry, and Yuval Sharon (director) is a clever blend of old and new. Based in Union Station, the installation provides time and space for viewers to contemplate and appreciate the city of Los Angeles and, perhaps, dream about the past, present, and future states of their hometown.
I don't want to spoil the fun, but here are a few images to pique your interest...
