TICKETS + INFORMATION

Having had a massive hit (for this kind of thing) at the tiny Chocolate Factory in LIC, The Institute of Useless Activity brings their cosmic stageshow to Here. It’s hard to describe beyond to say that its two guys using technology and stagecraft to mess with your head. And the first half or so of its hour-long run time is just magic. After that, when it devolves into a long series of hand-shadow puppets, things get old — at least if you’re as jaded as I am (or maybe I should say, as weed-averse). But people LOVE this — and that first half is pure magic.
