In 2005 William Kentridge directed a production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, which made use of projected drawings and animations. “The magic of the opera is in how complex and deep questions can be played out with such a light hand, and in the music, which simply floats to our ears, but which has such a gravitas to it at the same time” (Kentridge).
Free admission. Tickets available at the admissions desk beginning at 11:30 AM.

Memoria also screens Friday, May 5 (without Apichatpong Weerasethakul in person).
