A take-off on the third act of Oskar Schlemmer's seminal Bauhaus Triadic Ballet (each of the three acts having been assigned a color). The Triadic Ballet was notable for its entirely abstract, objective view of motion theater. This will be something else entirely: multidisciplinary artist Kia LaBeija refracting the piece through her black, queer, AIDS-positive lens.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: You'd think Uluh Tea House would be Cantonese, but it's more pan-regional. Better than you'd expect a pan-regional Chinese place to be, though. Also: dim sum all day!
