DESERT ENTERTAINER

OCTOBER 2022

he larger-than-life exhibit you’ve heard so much about which celebrates one of our greatest world-wide artistic influences, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, is setting up a shingle for two months in the Coachella Valley, giving the public the chance of a lifetime to dazzle the senses and develop a deeper understanding of the tortured artist’s life and work. Patrons will be completely surrounded by more than 300 of the greatest works of postImpressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. The father of expressionism used color to express his personal feelings, mood, and symbolism rather than using the object’s real color, rendering his paintings more abstract and influencing many other artists. Through the use of cutting-edge 3D projection technology and music, Van Gogh’s genius is illuminated, removing all limitations. Guests will have the chance to see recognizable classics such as “The Starry Night,” “Sunflowers,” and “Café Terrace at Night,” as well as many revealing self-portraits. An exclusively designed space comprised of three areas segue fluidly into each other. The Education Room leads into the unique Waterfall Room which flows into the Immersive Experience Room. Standing free from their frames, Van Gogh’s paintings appear on projection-swathed walls offering an in-depth study of the detail of his work while becoming part of the ever-shifting, swirling and colorful flowers, cafés and stunning landscapes. Visitors will hear the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words set to a symphonic score. The multimedia artistic adventure was produced by Paquin Entertainment Group and created by French-Canadian creative director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s world-renowned Normal Studio. The exhibit has sold over three million tickets globally, making it one of the most popular current traveling exhibitions. The innovative production is a way to bring art to many people who find they are empowered to develop a closer relationship to culture and painting, eliminating barriers and pretense. Guests can expect for the tour to take about one hour, with final entry allowed one hour before closing, every day except for Monday.

eloved funnyman Chris Tucker always leaves audiences in stitches with his hilarious stand-up act, just as he has with his on-screen roles. The comedian and actor made his debut in 1992 as a stand-up performer on the HBO comedy series “Def Comedy Jam,” where he frequently appeared on the show during the 1990s. He had roles in the films “Friday,” “The Fifth Element,” “Money Talks,” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown,” and he later gained fame in the 2000s for playing LAPD Detective James Carter in the martial arts action com-

edy “Rush Hour” series, in which he starred alongside Hong Kong martial artist Jackie Chan and for which he received several accolades. He also starred in Michael Jackson’s video “You Rock My World.” Tucker’s career was influenced by Jackson, as he is seen dancing and singing to “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” in a scene in “Rush Hour 2.” Tucker treats audiences to familyfriendly anecdotes from his time on the set of his films and he takes a few jabs at current events and pop culture. He keeps his shows clean, something he attributes to his faith.

High Desert “Puffs”

Director Charles Harvey announces Theatre 29’s new production, the magical comedy “Puffs,” the new Off-Broadway comedy farce written by Matt Cox. Apparently, “Puffs” is a “transformative and transfigured” work under the magic that is US Fair Use laws. It is NOT authorized, sanctioned, licensed or endorsed by J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play. So what is it? Puffs just happened to be at the same Wizard School as that other well-known boy. The clever and inventive play gives a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers. Among the cast leads are Alex Hernandez, Donivan Cox, Carly Bateman and Imelda Patu. According to the folks at Theatre 29: “Whether you are a huge fan of a certain boy wizard or are a true “mug born” who has never heard of the tale, ‘Puffs” is a great night of laughter, action and adventure.” Theatre 29’s next production is “The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Music” November 2-December 11. Curtain Time: “Puffs,” Theatre 29, Twentynine Palms, 7 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 2:30 p.m. Sun. For tickets or more info, theatre29.org
