TICKETS + INFORMATION

Carl Hancock Rux picks up on the emblematic African-American experimental artist and writer he created in a play two decades ago, who shot to avant-garde fame as a writer in the 1950s and made avant-garde movies and was a political activist in the ‘60s before dying in prison in 1970. Now Rux “curates” a sound-and-light exhibition featuring artifacts from Aymes’s “career”, also including a song recital by no less than Alicia Hall Moran and Aaron Diehl audaciously doing songs by such composers as Puccini, Bernstein, and Weill.
