Robert Zweig reads from Return to Naples: My Italian Bar Mitzvah and Other Discoveries (Barricade Books, 2008). As a boy in the 1960s, Robert Zweig, an American Jew of Italian and German descent, had the exceptional opportunity to spend his summer vacations in Naples—the birthplace of his mother, the home of his extended family, and the impoverished city that American tourists avoided altogether. The interconnected stories in Return to Naples recount many humorous episodes from those summers. Zweig also describes the family mysteries he uncovered with each visit and how this knowledge led to a deeper understanding of his parents and the place where they met.
“These stories are immaculately chiseled cameos, but they also capture life on the grand scale. Like Naples, they grab you and won’t let you go.”—André Aciman, Out of Egypt

“Documented Italians” Film and Video Series
Spring 2010
MERICA (2007), 65 min.
Federico Ferrone, Michele Manzolini, and Francesco Ragazzi, dirs.

Merica investigates the complexities of migration and the migrant’s desire for national belonging using the parallel stories of Italian immigration to Brazil in the 1800s and the current Italian-Brazilian migration to Italy. These “return migrants,” who have a strong attraction to Italy, face considerable challenges in a country still plagued by the difficulty of integrating outsiders. The film investigates why return migrants, while officially recognized as Italians, are not viewed as such by Italian-born citizens in everyday life. Ultimately, the film poses the question: if nationality does not create a sense of belonging, what does?
Post-screening discussion led by Guido Tintori, Fulbright-Schuman Scholar, New York University.

Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre presents “REVOLUTION!?” March 4-21, 2010 Thursdays-Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, New York, NY 10003, (212) 254-1109 Tickets: $10; Box Office (212) 254-1109; online ticketing available at: www.theaterforthenewcity.net Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre, in collaboration with AGENTURA DELL’ARTE (from Prague), probes revolution with stilts and strings in “Revolution!?,” a theater spectacle that examines revolutions throughout the history of mankind as a backdrop for the extraordinary peaceful 1989 Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia. The piece is performed in the tradition of Central European medieval street and traveling circus shows, using commedia dell’ Arte, puppetry, object theater and circus arts. Czech and Czech-American theater artists have collaborated to offer an overview of the very notion of revolution based on their particular perspectives on the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Pavel Dobruský and Vit Horejš began with script scenarios on the subjects of the Titanomachy (when the Olympian gods overthrew the Titans), the Agrarian Revolution (when organized agriculture started and animals were domesticated), the Spartacus Rebellion, the 15th century Hussite movement of peasants in Czech lands, the American, French, Industrial and Russian Revolutions; the Counterculture, the Computer Revolution and the Czech Velvet Revolution. The performance was developed primarily through improvisation in a month of workshops in Prague this February. The result is a collection of acts, one for each topic, that range in style from dance theater to pure commedia to rhythm dances to narrated scenes and dialogue scenes, all containing a great deal of acrobatics.

Beoga (Irish word for “lively”) are based in County Antrim, in the north of Ireland. The bedrock of their sound lies firmly within the Irish tradition. However, they are not afraid to incorporate other genres’ nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. The result is traditional, with a huge sense of fun and adventure and it all works—wonderfully well!

FREE. Reservations required. www.gc.cuny.edu/events
Architectural historian Andrew Dolkart of Columbia University will discuss his new book, from Johns Hopkins University Press, which examines the rediscovery of New York’s deteriorated row houses built in the early 20th century. He will trace the radical alterations to these houses, examining how these changes impacted the character of urban neighborhoods. The facades of the rediscovered row houses were completed redesigned, often with stucco fronts, colorful art tile detail, and artist-studio window while the utilitarian yards were transformed into picturesque gardens. Interior plans were completely rearranged, creating a new type of urban residence. These houses appealed to artistic people near Gramercy Park, wealthy homeowners east of Third Avenue and young, middle-class professionals renting apartments in faux-studios created by developers in Greenwich Village. The book argues for the importance of this movement and for the preservation of these endangered buildings. Book signing to follow.

Caffè Lena presents
50th Annivesary Decade Concert: The 1980s
Featuring Mary McCaslin and Garnet Rogers
8 p.m.
Caffè Lena, 47 Phila St., Saratoga Springs, NY, 518-583-0022
Cost: $25 (How to get tickets)
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, Caffè Lena is presenting a five-part Decade Concert Series. Tonight we mark the 1980s with Mary McCaslin and Garent Rogers. Mary McCaslin emerged onto the folk scene in the 1970s with a new ballad style that made her one of the top folk artists of the decade. Working totally outside of the Nashville sphere, singing of prairies and the Old West in almost mythic terms, her own audience was confined to the folk circuit, yet her unique style paved the way for country-folk-pop stars such as Nanci Griffith and Mary-Chapin Carpenter. Mary was an honored name on the Caffè Lena roster in both the ‘70s and ‘80s, performing frequently with her husband Jim Ringer, and later on her own. Mary handpicked Canadian singer-songwriter Garnet Rogers to partner with her for this special celebration of the 1980s at Caffè Lena. After years of working with his brother Stan Rogers, Garnet’s first solo album was released in 1984 and was followed by another album every two years into the 1990s. He sings in cinematic detail about people who are not obvious heroes, carrying his audience from song to song with memorable stories and quips. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post), his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet continues to be an audience favorite at Caffè Lena and other great stages across North America.

The Gotham Center for New York City presents the next program in their Gotham History Forum Series for Spring 2010:
Jacob’s Cane: A Jewish Family’s Journey from the Four Lands of Lithuania to the Ports of London and Baltimore: A Memoir in Five Generations
6:30 p.m.
CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street – Recital Hall, New York, NY
FREE. Reservations required. www.gc.cuny.edu/events
When Harvard English Professor Elisa New held her great-grandfather Jacob Levy’s cane in her hands for the first time in 1997, its elegant, finely crafted design led her to realize for the first time that her family’s story was not the standard coming-to-America tale she had long assumed. Inspired to search beyond what her parents and aunts had revealed of her family’s past, she would learn that Jacob Levy’s was indeed no Tevye the Milkman story. Rather, as her family memoir published by Basic Books explains, it was the untold odyssey of Tevye’s cosmopolitan cousin, one of a line of Jews rendered worldly by centuries of transoceanic commerce. In the mid-1880s, Levy had landed not at Ellis Island, but at Baltimore, where he skipped the struggling, tenement-living immigrant experience and hit the ground running, soon becoming a successful businessman and prominent socialist leader. Yet challenges to family cohesion and prosperity would still lie ahead. Book signing to follow.

Alone or with fellow musicians; guitar, fiddle, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades – synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his. While most identified with traditional American old-time music, Molsky’s influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta blues; from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to the rhythmically nimble music of Eastern Europe. The Hootin’ Holler Hotshots (Kathy Vandemortel on fiddle and banjo, Stephen Bland on banjo and fiddle, Fred Filbrich on bass and Bill Gamble on guitar) perform old-timey songs and tunes in the Rochester area. They provide a fitting introduction to Bruce’s program.

Each song takes the perspective of a different character in a compelling personal narrative—a desperate man attempts a bank robbery, an amateur radio DJ holds his community together during Hurricane Katrina, and a group of miners struggle to survive in a cave-in. Phil will be accompanied by Gary Moon on vocals and guitar, and Jeff Kimball on mandolin and accordion.

The Tarras Legacy: Celebrating the King of American Klezmer Music
A Multi-Media Concert Featuring Joel Rubin

Tickets: $20 per adults; $12 for seniors and students
RSVP to hgriff@eldridgestreet.org or call 212.219.0888 x205
Poll any Jewish music lover about who is the father of klezmer, and hands-down clarinetist Dave Tarras (1895–1989) will be the answer. This Ukrainian-born virtuoso was the unrivaled leader in the creation of a uniquely American klezmer sound. Join us for a multi-media presentation and concert featuring internationally renowned clarinetist and ethnomusicologist Joel Rubin with band, and rare video footage and photographs of Tarras from the Center for Traditional Music and Dance’s Archive. While the popularity of klezmer amongst American Jews declined precipitously after WWII, Tarras’s career was reborn in the late 1970s through a project conducted by the Center for Traditional Music and Dance (then called the Balkan Arts Center). The project played a major role in sparking an international revival of klezmer, and thirty-one years after his death, Tarras remains an indelible force in the performance and conception of klezmer. A CD of Tarras’s last recording session, produced during the original project can purchased on the CTMD website. The concert will feature Rubin (clarinet), with Art Bailey (accordion), David Licht (drums) and Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl).

A special masterclass for reed players (clarientists and saxophonists) with Rubin will take place at 1:00 p.m. before the concert — for information contact Pete Rushefsky at 917-326-9659 or prushefsky@ctmd.org.

Music of the Americas is proud to start a new collaboration with the renowned José Limón Dance Company. In these salons, members of the company will discuss aspects of its work and that of its founder. This evening will include a performance of excerpts of La Malinche. This dance is a product of José Limón’s childhood memories of Mexican fiestas, which reached their climax with performances in the town plaza by celebrating local history and tradition. The dance begins with an introduction of the players. Their performance refers to Cortes’ Conquest of Mexico and the complicity of the Indian princess Malintzin who, according to legend, returned years after her death as the revolutionary spirit “La Malinche” to lead the Mexican Indians to victory over their Spanish conquerors. This dance deals with conquest, perfidy, remorse, rebellion, and triumph, all well known in Mexican history.

Taller Boricua presents:
4 SOLO EXHIBITIONS BY:
Keith O. Anderson, Melissa A. Calderon, William Coronado AND Chanika Svetvilas
Curated by Marcos Dimas and Christine Licata
Opening Friday, January 22, 2010, 6-9 p.m.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 p.m.
Thursday 1-7 p.m., Closed Sunday and Monday
Taller Boricua Galleries at the Julia De Burgos Latino Cultural Center, 1680 Lexington Avenue, NYC, N.Y. 10029, 212.831.4333
For more information, contact the Taller Boricua: contact@tallerboricua.org

Keith O. Anderson creates site-specific installations and objects that transform unassuming materials such as raisins, cotton puffs, black-eyed peas, clothespins, and straight pins into an unconventional visual vocabulary of social and political critique and commentary. In “Matière Première /Raw Material,” Anderson’s work reveals the transitory relationships and nature of everyday items and symbols, offering unexpected meanings and insights into the world around us.

In “Osmosis,” Melissa A. Calderon incorporates installation, photography, and sculpture to explore the concepts of multicultural identity and gender. Her work examines the stereotypes and the controversial symbols of the transnational Latino experience. Calderon integrates the duality present in acculturation by paying homage to the significant contributions and traditions of Latino culture, as well as challenging the negative, commercialized ideologies that have become synonymous with it.

In William Coronado’s paintings, flesh becomes the medium through which the boundaries between the metaphysical and the physical aspects of human existence are explored. At once gestural and corporeal, his exhibition “Skin Deep” simultaneously embodies the psychology of existence and the biology of being. Through a combination of distortion and representation, Coronado challenges the viewer to experience separate realities as well as reexamine the broader issues of identity and gender.

Chanika Svetvilas’ site-specific installation “Import / Export,” uses familiar commercial and domestic objects and materials such as toy soldiers, rubber gloves, and plastic, plaid shopping bags as metaphors to transcribe the cultural and social challenges within migration and immigration. Her multidisciplinary work also includes layers of international corporate logos merged with global branding. These iconic, self-referential symbols reveal the paradoxical relationships between consumerism, commodities, transculturation, and ultimately, globalization.
