what i wanna do this week 4.9.10

this is one of those weeks that flies by, so much so that i’ve done one of the things i want to do this week as i’m writing this.
‡ Maly Theatre’s production of Uncle Vanya at BAM was superb. I like Uncle Vanya a lot to start with and the easy treatment of the play by this Russian company showed the true humor of that nation’s artists: witty, dark, absurd, sentimental, and bound to end up drinking.
‡ Pieter Hugo at Yossi Milo. This portraiture show features bizarre archtypal characters from Nigeria’s film culture, which is the third biggest in the world behind bollywood and hollywood. Aptly named, Nollywood, it looks karayzeee!
