Anh Vo is spending the weekend performing a piece with no audience, no streaming, no recording: just a performance for its own sake. But he and his presenters at Target Margin Theater apparently couldn't resist adding a public aspect. The way it works is this: a mass (lower case "m") ritual on Zoom, where the audience members are invited to unmute themselves when ready and make a prayer or, really, any sound. These sonic submissions will be abstracted by musical collaborator Isaac Silber, who will feed the abstracted sound back into the theater where Vo is performing and out into the virtual space where the audience is watching and listening. Audio will be on Spreaker, video on Zoom.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Greenpoint: pour 2 oz. Rye and 1/2 oz. each of sweet Vermouth and yellow Chartreuse, with 1 dash of orange bitters and 1 dash of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.
