This started out several years ago as collaboration between Brooklyn-born composer/performer (and onetime cantorial trainee) Charlemagne Palestine and the jazzy Brooklyn-born poet Steve Dalachinsky that centered on Palestine playing his first public piano solo in his native borough.  It has somehow lost the piano and morphed into what is now described as a "kibbitzing session" between these two Kings County alter cockers -- albeit one that will involve electronics, movement, and one of Palestine's maliciously whimsical environments (teddy bears are typically involved).  That the always interesting performance artist Dawn Kaspar is opening is icing on the cake.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  After all that kibbitzing, the excellent Spanish/Jewish/Moorish food at La Vara should be tonic.  (Speaking of tonic, their Gin & Tonic variation is fabulous.  Betcha can't drink just one.)
