The Polish AR/VR company Dream Adoption Society presents a retrospective of past works over the month, leading up to a major new work in collaboration with NOWY TEATR, a Polish theater company focusing on audience involvement.  In this week's piece, audience members collaborate with a virtual avatar of a performer to create poetry.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Since you could be coming and going at various times throughout the late afternoon and evening, what you need here is an all-day café.  And wouldn't you know it, just blocks away is probably the best and most charming of the recent spate of such places in New York:  La Mercerie.  Whatever else you order, be sure to have a crepe complete.
