Opera (1851)
by Giuseppi Verdi

Play (2010)
by Will Eno
Directed by Doug Lockwood
Actors’ Shakespeare Project
YMCA Theatre (Central Square)

Concert Performance
Wonder of Weird
The 40th Anniversary Tour
by The Residents
Co-presented by
World Music/CRASHarts
and ICA/Boston
at the ICA
(Institute of Contemporary Art)

A stop on the 40th anniversary tour for this idiosyncratic, iconoclastic, prankster-punk band, a masked trio that blends incantation and recollection within an evocative framework of electronic buzz, rhythmic beats and narrative performance.
