The captivating and enthralling vocalist (she also plays violin — but not tonight) and multidisciplinary artist Anjna Swaminathan, who comes out of Carnatic and Hindustani but goes anywhere she wants, creates a musical and visual presentation reflecting on plant life and its similarities to human life. Her point is the need for communitarianism evidenced by our experience of the last year. Too bad she lives in a country whose ethos is devoted to repulsive disgusting atomistic hyperindividualism.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: If you go to the venue, it'll be nice to walk around the corner to the welcoming and delicious Kind of Soul. At home, have a Roosevelt: pour 1-3/4 oz. dark Rum, 1/2 oz. dry Vermout, and 1/4 oz. orange juice, with 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.
