Trajal Harrell, in his dance pieces, militantly confronts post-modern dance with Gay Black voguing (and other vernacular forms), questioning why certain forms of expression are privileged over others. Here he puts together a sort of career retrospective (the show lasts 6 hours; you are encouraged to tune in and out whenever you want between 12 and 6) performed amidst a visual arts exhibition by Sarah Sze, a longtime collaborator.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Paris Is Burning: pour 1 oz. each of Gin and Mezcal, 1/2 oz. each of St-Germain and lemon juice, 1 oz. grapefruit juice, and 1/4 oz. Cane Syrup (you can use Simple Syrup if that's easier) into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe (you'll have some left over — a good thing for a 6-hour show). Garnish with 1 dash of Angostura bitters.
