1.  Last Chance at the Sunset

Since Lisa Wahlander’s The Impermanent Sky has been a ritual performance geared to begin at sunset and to be performed in relation to the change in light from sunset to dusk, the start time has shifted slightly each week. Composer Jeremy Zuckerman composed the score. Doors open at 7 p.m. and given the nature of the performance, there is no late seating for this final show. Pieter Performance Space, 420 W. Avenue 33, Lincoln Heights; Aug. 27, 7:04 p.m. free with non-monetary donation of food or beverage, but reservations required. https://eventbrite.com/e/the-impermanent-sky-tickets-35674971801.
