Los Angeles' longest running, most celebrated action-packed
variety show where electrifying Mexican masked wrestling, burlesque and comedy
collide – returns.
Kusama's exuberant sculptural installation With All My Love For The Tulips, I Pray Forever (2011) exemplifies the dualism found throughout her work between the organic and the artificial. Shown here for the first time in Los Angeles, the oversized flower-potted tulips made from fiberglass–reinforced plastic are painted with the same red polka dots as the floor, ceiling, and walls, creating an immersive viewing experience while at the same time diminishing the appearance of depth.
Yi Yi

LACMA | Bing Theater
$7
Edward Yang's most widely acclaimed film (it won him the best director prize at Cannes), Yi Yi turned out also to be his swan song: He died in 2007 at age 59. Yi Yi spans a year in the life of a middle-class Taipei family, it opens with a wedding and closes with a funeral. It's a film that includes a birth and a death and encompasses just about everything in between, from the awkward pangs of first love to the persistent stirrings of middle-aged regret.

SLEEP takes the listener on an overnight eight-hour musical
journey that pushes the boundaries of post-minimalism and the interplay of
music and consciousness. Scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals,
Richter’s piece is an exquisite hybrid of classical and electronic music across
31 uninterrupted pieces. Performed live by Max Richter on piano and keyboard
along with the musicians on the 2015 Deutsche Grammophon recording of the work,
American Contemporary Music Ensemble, and soprano Grace Davidson, SLEEP invites
listeners to fall asleep and drift in and out of consciousness and lucid dream
states, entering into another world through the act of slumbering. The
absorbing soundscape culminates as dawn breaks and sunlight streams over City
Hall and into Grand Park, awakening the audience to a new day.
