did something insane this weekend and flew to charleston to see the new production of pina bausch’s rite of spring. couldn’t afford it when it was at the park ave armory but it turns out it was cheaper to get flights + tickets + a hotel here and we’ve had a lovely weekend away. very rarely do anything this extravagant but if there’s a show you really want to see this is something to keep in mind

i went to see the new broadway production of cabaret this saturday on a complete whim (knowing next to nothing about the show) and i have not been able to stop thinking about it since. what a fun and entertaining yet deeply distressing experience— the intentional, immersive atmosphere brought me (almost blindly…) into the story. i found myself entranced in the hypnotizing world of the kit kat club, then immediately brought out of it by certain impactful moments; the feeling that i was a part of the show in a way made these moments hit me hard, and at times i felt my stomach drop as i was faced with nauseating reality. it can be so easy to move on with your life as though issues affecting others don’t affect you. as my friend lewin put it, it takes effort and a conscious choice not to become evil. if you don’t actively think in opposition to something, you are as good as enabling it— and i intend to treat my own moral views and opinions with more intentionality going forward.
not to mention, i saw this performance immediately after attending a protest against the current trump regime, and the themes of complicity in 1930s germany felt all too relevant to the politics of today. in all, a striking and upsetting, yet somehow incredibly entertaining, show that i feel will stick with me for a while. also, a very queer show. beautiful.

“Using the social media app feels like a slower, less chaotic, and more intimate version of twitter. You’re prompted to answer questions like ‘what did you read last week?’ and a small group of friends chime in. There’s no algorithms or popularity contests.”
