THEATER
Sotto Voce
Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz (Anna in the Tropics), Sotto Voce is a lyrical meditation on memory, longing, and the legacy of the Holocaust. When a young Jewish-Cuban researcher’s obsession with the MS St. Louis leads him to an 80-year-old novelist who is still haunted by the love she lost aboard the doomed voyage, the line between memory and desire blurs. This is a haunting story of love, loss, and the voices that refuse to be forgotten.
Opens Saturday, Jan. 24
$60 to $95

"World's Fair Visions of Tomorrow"
Through Feb. 22
The wonders of 19th- and 20th-century world's fairs—towering architecture and dazzling displays of the latest in technology, science, industry, and art—promised fairgoers a bright and modern future. Featuring Wolfsonian collection works such as posters, books, souvenirs, and one of the first consumer TVs, World's Fairs: "Visions of Tomorrow" spotlights the centerpiece pavilions, spellbinding attractions, and uplifting themes that drew millions to cities from Paris to Spokane, often during times of crisis and change. The exhibition leads up to contemporary artist Marco Brambilla's new video installation, After Utopia (opening fall 2025), which imagines a virtual expo of iconic structures from fairs held across time and around the globe.
