Twins M and L have given up everything to get into The College. So when D gets “their” spot instead, they figure they’ve got only one option: kill him. A darkly comedic take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth about the ultra-ambitious and the cut-throat world of high school during college admissions.

Exhibit: The Artistic Life of Aka Pereyma
2024-04-28, 2024-05-01 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
Aka Pereyma’s art, unconventional and visionary, demonstrates a highly personal means of expression. Weaving folk-art traditions with modern artistic styles, Pereyma produced art that expressed her strong ties to her Ukrainian heritage. “I think it is my duty to introduce to the world my Ukrainian culture,” she stated. This exhibition brings together works from throughout her career, from the early 1960s into the 21st century. Not tied to a single medium, Pereyma made paintings, drawings, wood and metal sculptures, needlework, woodblock prints, ceramics and exquisitely intricate designs on pysanky eggs. Recurring themes include Ukrainian folk songs, depictions of birds to represent her love of nature, Adam and Eve (along with leaves and eggs) to symbolize men and women. The works tell stories, often through surreal, densely filled ornamentation. “More is more,” was a favorite saying. A celebration of a local artistic legend, this exhibition will highlight Pereyma’s love of color and bold design.

Chamber Music: Montgomery, Meyer, Smetana
2024-04-28 14:00 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
DPAA’s second chamber concert explores musical and philosophical depth. The afternoon launches with Jessie Montgomery’s “Strum,” a piece that weaves fleeting nostalgia into ecstatic celebration, from a young composer heralded by the BBC for her distinctive voice. The journey deepens with Jessica Meyer’s “Of Being,” inspired by Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, which echoes Beethoven’s final String Quartet. The concert reaches its heartfelt finale with Bedřich Smetana’s String Quartet No. 2. This work, birthed in the silence of the composer’s deafness, features numerous rousing folk tunes, as well as a poignant high E in the first violin—Smetana’s own tinnitus made manifest in the finale of his last quartet—blending joy with sorrow to evoke the deepest facets of existence. Together, these pieces promise not just a concert but an immersive experience, inviting the audience into a shared exploration of the communal spirit of music and the weighty questions of being.

MOMIX: Alice
2024-04-28 19:00, 2024-04-29 10:00 | Victoria Theatre, 138 N. Main St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
Known internationally for presenting works of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, MOMIX is a company of dancer-illusionists under the direction of Moses Pendleton that has been dazzling audiences since 1993. Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland. As Alice’s body grows and shrinks and grows again, Pendleton’s dancers extend themselves by means of props, ropes and other dancers. “I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story,” Pendleton says, “but to use it as a taking off point for invention.” Full of imagery and absurd logic, MOMIX: ALICE lets the imagination run and play with the fusion of dancing, lighting, music, costumes and projected imagery; audiences will be taken on a journey that is magical, mysterious, fun, eccentric and much more. A feast of visual splendor and creative movement, ALICE reveals that nothing in MOMIX’s world is as it seems.
