Mika Rottenberg : Easypieces
June 26- September 15

New Museum

This exhibition marks the first New York solo museum presentation of work by New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg.  Employing absurdist satire to address the critical issues of our time, Rottenberg creates videos and installations that offer subversive allegories for contemporary life. Her works interweave documentary elements and fiction, and often feature protagonists who work in factory-like settings to manufacture goods ranging from cultured pearls (NoNoseKnows, 2015) to the millions of brightly colored plastic wholesale items sold in Chinese superstores (Cosmic Generator, 2017).

Fiddler On The Roof (A Fidler Afn Dakh)

Translator Shraga Friedman

February 21, 2019 thru Jan 2020
Stage 42 @ The Little Shubert Theatre

Don't miss the beloved story of a community and its struggle to balance traditions and desires in a changing world. The little town of Anatevka will bustle with the sounds of mame-loshn in the Yiddish language adaptation of Fiddler.

With direction by Oscar and Tony Award®-winner Joel Grey and the Yiddish translation by Shraga Friedman, this production has been hailed as "a richer, deeper interpretation" by The Wall Street Journal, "a mitzvah" by Time Out New York, and AM New York gives it four stars, calling Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish "perfect."

Performed in Yiddish with English and Russian subtitles.
