CLASSICAL MUSIC/THEATER
- (^) Hear The Black Clown
Powerful music-theater.
Gerald W. Lynch Theater, July 24 to 27.
In a 1931 poem, Langston Hughes describes the
music that goes with his words: “A gay and low-
down blues ... A bugle call ... The music is like a
mournful tom-tom in the dark!” Now the com-
poser Michael Schachter has realized the score
that Hughes evoked in a polystylistic spectacle
with baritone Davóne Tines in the title role. j.d.
MOVIES
- (^) See Another Country:
Outsider Visions
of America
Another lens.
Lincoln Center, August 2 to 14.
We Americans aren’t too swift at seeing ourselves
through the eyes of outsiders, which is why you
should queue up for this Film at Lincoln Center
series that samples foreign filmmakers’ perspec-
tives on this country, including a night of shorts of
black leaders in and out of government by Agnès
Varda, Yolande du Luart, and Chris Marker;
Antonioni’s apocalyptic Zabriskie Point; Lars
von Trier’s scabrous Dogville; and even Paul Ver-
hoeven’s Showgirls! david edelstein
THEATER
- (^) See Make Believe
Party of four.
Second Stage Theater, July 30 to September 15.
Playwright Bess Wohl (Small Mouth Sounds,
Continuity) explores the collision between real

dren, whose game of “playing house” is no longer

Thirty-two years later, the siblings are no closer to
the truth ... s.h.
TV

Sketch Show
A new comedy series, led by black women.

comedy show with four black female principals—

Dennis, and Quinta Brunson. Expect cameos
from major names, including Angela Bassett,
Laverne Cox, Lil Rel Howery, and Issa Rae, an
executive producer of the show. j.c.
CLASSICAL MUSIC

A resonant installation.
Met Breuer, through August 11.
Silence is almost never silent, and each empty

hums its own distinct pitch. Using that phenom-
enon, the British artist Oliver Beer has marshaled
hollow objects from the Met’s collection into a
resonating ensemble. j.d.
