SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS
Faux more years
Varla Jean Merman: A Little White Music THU. & SAT. NOV. 3 & 5 | Varla Jean Merman goes honky-tonking in the American songbook and culls A.M. radio for this homage to whiteness. She’s joined by Gerald Goode on piano. At 8 p.m. at Cafe Istanbul.
Faux/Real Festival of Arts evolves in its second year
Bianca Del Rio FRI. NOV. 4 | Winner of season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, New Orleans’ Bianca Del Rio recently released her first feature film, Hurricane Bianca, about a teacher fired from a Texas high school for being gay, only to return in drag and exact vengance. At 8 p.m. at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.
BY WILL COVIELLO @WILLCOVIELLO AS A MUSICALLY PRECOCIOUS TEENAGER, ESPERANZA SPALDING,
31, mastered several instruments and traipsed through genres with ease. She began teaching at the Berklee College of Music at 20 years old. A couple of her albums topped the jazz charts, and many think of her as a jazz musician, but she’s performed with artists ranging from jazz legends Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock to Prince and recently with ?uestlove as a bass and drums duo. In shows following her most recent release, March’s Emily’s D+Evolution, she’s presenting much more than a concert. She incorporates staging, props and theatricality (she developed the show with playwright/director Will Weigler). That added dimension is what prompted Faux/Real Festival of Arts Director Ben Mintz to schedule Spalding to open the festival Thursday at the Orpheum Theater. “Spalding epitomizes what we’re going for,” Mintz says. “It’s a theatrical show. It’s not a concert, or just rock ’n’ roll. … We’re presenting multidisciplinary events that are heavy on performance and experimental arts.” The album takes Spalding’s middle name, and in the show, the young alter ego explores, develops and matures. The song “Good Lava” celebrates unrestrained self-expression. Faux/Real is the successor to the New Orleans Fringe Festival, a long weekend designed for binge watching alternative theater events. But this year, it makes a sharp break with the Fringe’s freewheeling concept. The Fringe featured some jury-selected shows, but many were included at the producers’ will and risk. This year’s Faux/Real festival, taking place Nov. 3-13 at venues across the city, features multi-disciplinary shows, literary readings and culinary events, but it schedules only a couple each night,
THU. NOV. 3 | How much doom can one band wring? True Widow’s second New Orleans appearance in 2016 follows its fourth LP Avvolgere (Relapse), another gorgeous, down-tuned round of moving, melodic sludge from the Dallas three piece. Mary Lattimore and Ex Specter open at 7 p.m. at Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center.
Freud’s Last Session
and all are curated. Faux/Real engaged New Orleans chefs and bartenders to create culinary events and creative pub crawls last year. This year’s slate includes a couple of collaborations. An evening of food, drinks and music celebrates Louis Armstrong and his favorite foods at Cafe Henri (800 Louisa St.). Musicians from young traditional jazz bands perform traditional tunes and modern arrangements of Armstrong’s songs. The kitchen offers deconstructed takes on Armstrong’s beloved red beans and rice and chop suey, and there are special cocktails for the event, including one named “Swiss Kriss” (taken from an herbal laxative Armstrong liked). On Election Day, Nov. 8, the festival has a colonial-themed party at Cane & Table (1113 Decatur St.), complete with two town criers announcing election results (there also will be a TV for news hounds). There will be themed drinks based on the Founding Fathers, including Martha Washington’s cherry bounce and a drink from a recipe Ben Franklin published in Poor Richard’s Almanack. There also will be tankards of porter. Attendees dressed as Founding Fathers or past presidents
NOV. 3-13
FRI.-SUN. NOV. 4-20 | On the day England entered World War II, psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud and writer and lay theologian C.S. Lewis challenge each other in a debate touching on love, sex and faith. At 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre.

Colonial-era drinks also will be the subject of an event at the Catahoula Hotel (914 Union St.) Nov. 10 featuring spirits author Wayne Curtis and mixologist Nathan Dalton. They’ll attempt to make the world’s largest flip — a drink made by poking a hot lagerhead into an alcoholic mixture with molasses. There are literary events featuring writers from across the Gulf South scheduled Friday through Sunday, Nov. 4-6 book readings, spoken word performances and more. From Nov. 7-11, there will be two showcases of short dramas, including works by Henrik Ibsen, Samuel Beckett and original works. There is a familyfriendly daytime event on Nov. 13. Final details of these events were not available at press time. Check the Faux/Real website for information.
Guided By Voices with Surfer Blood SUN. NOV. 6 | Robert Pollard has made solo albums with collaborators that could be Guided By Voices records. He played every instrument on April’s self-released Please Be Honest — the 23rd-ish GBV album, neck-and-neck with his 22 solo LPs and countless side-projects — and then welcomed back former guitarist Doug Gillard. Go figure. Surfer Blood opens at 8 p.m. at Republic.

Opiate-related overdose deaths in New Orleans in the first seven months of 2016.
90
NEW ORLEANS CORONER JEFFREY ROUSE says New
Orleans could be on track, perhaps for the first-time ever, for the number of opiate-related overdose deaths to eclipse its murder rate. As of Aug. 1, 90 people have died from opiate-related overdose deaths, including the rising use of fentanyl as well as heroin and prescription opioids — compared to 93 murders during the same time frame. During his 2017 budget presentation at the New Orleans City Council Oct. 26, Rouse compared 2016’s rates to last year, when there were 164 murders and 63 opiate overdoses. “We’re in the middle of an epidemic with regard to fentanyl, heroin and opiate overdoses,” he said. “It is taxing this office and running us a little ragged.” The office performs roughly 1,200 autopsies a year, investigates 3,500 deaths and performs 2,000 psychological evaluations, all within a $3 million budget. Rouse asked — as he did for budgets in 2015 and 2016 — for increases to pay for 24-hour coverage of the front desk, burial expenses for indigent people and mental health services. Rouse anticipates the opening of the VA Hospital in Mid-City “is going to break [the office]” without additional funding for staff to perform those evaluations. — ALEX WOODWARD

Charmaine Caccioppi,
The New Orleans Museum of Art
Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of the United Way of Southeast Louisiana, was appointed to chair the Louisiana Women’s Policy and Research Commission. Caccioppi has been at the forefront of local and statewide efforts to better address issues affecting women and children for many years. The commission, appointed by Gov. John Bel Edwards, studies the state of women and employment, health, safety and economics.
was awarded a $400,000 grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support two curatorial fellowships in photography and modern and contemporary art. The fellows also will work with the museum staff on programming and “interpretive experiences” to connect visitors with scholarly material.
New Orleans’ criminal justice system failed to protect 15year-old Jaquin Thomas, who killed himself while in custody at Orleans Parish Prison Oct. 17. Jail officials told the New Orleans City Council Oct. 25 that Thomas was beaten by inmates and waited several weeks in the adult jail for what should have been a routine bond hearing. (The law requires that defendants appear before a judge within 72 hours of arrest.)

I-10 News on the move
1. VOTING RIGHTS COMPLAINTS Election Day, Nov. 8, is almost here (thank goodness) and U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite announced last week he had appointed Assistant U.S. Attorney Irene Gonzalez as district election officer for the Eastern District of Louisiana, which covers Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Tammany and nine other parishes. Gonzalez will be the point person for handling voting rights and election fraud complaints. Voters can reach Gonzalez on Election Day at (504) 680-3000 or (504) 680-3077. Louisianans also can contact the local FBI office at (504) 8163000 or the federal government’s Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section at (800) 253-3931. PHOTO COURTESY CREATIVE COMMONS/PAUL SABLEMAN
2. Quote of the week “The Louisiana Senatorial Debate being held at Dillard University has garnered attention locally and nationally and has spurred a wide range of emotions within the university’s student body, our alumni and from people across America. ... Dillard stands by its contractual obligation to host the debate. … Understanding the electoral process, including the elements that we may not agree with, is vital to the success of our American democracy.” — L. Kasimu Harris of Dillard University, addressing the news that U.S. Senate candidate and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke met the criterion (5 percent support in a statewide poll) to participate in the Nov. 2 Senate debate organized by Raycom and hosted by Dillard, a historically black university.
3. License to panhandle? The city of Slidell passed an ordinance last week requiring anyone asking for money within the city limits to get a free sign from the city’s police department and display it while panhandling. In an open letter, Marjorie Esman, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana, cited case law that found begging to be free speech and added, “Slidell’s public streets, like all public streets,
are traditional public forums in which any content-based regulation of speech is presumptively invalid.” After a short grace period, the city is expected to begin enforcing the new ordinance.
4. The Big Issue: Public transit and jobs
Tulane Hillel will host a “Big Issue” panel Nov. 1 titled “Intersection: Public Transit, Jobs and Prosperity in NOLA,” which will examine transit funding, “issues with route connections,” and how it affects people who depend on public transit to get to work or around the city. Flozell Daniels of the Foundation for Louisiana will moderate a panel that includes Regional Transit Authority General Manager Justin Augustine, RIDE New Orleans Executive Director Alex Posorske and others. The event is free and begins at 7 p.m. at the Mintz Center (912 Broadway St.).
5. Marconi bike path a go After six years of planning and waiting, New Orleans City Park’s Marconi Bike Path is inching closer to completion.

UNO Poll: Kennedy leads Senate race, Boustany and Campbell tied for second A poll released last week by the University of New Orleans’ Survey Research Center found State Treasurer John Neely Kennedy in the lead in the Nov. 8 race for the U.S. Senate, with 22 percent support. Kennedy was followed by U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany and Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell, each with 15 percent. U.S. Rep. John Fleming had 11 percent, and attorney Caroline Fayard scored 10 percent. No other candidate polled above 4 percent. In the presidential race, Donald Trump solidly outscored Hillary Clinton, but Clinton had the support of 41 percent of Louisiana women to Trump’s 44 percent (within the poll’s 4 percent error margin), while Clinton garnered only 27 percent among Louisiana men to Trump’s 56 percent. The poll was conducted Oct. 15-21 and surveyed 603 likely voters by telephone.

Council hears city plans for traffic cameras On the first day of city budget hearings for 2017, New Orleans City Council members questioned Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s controversial plan to add 55 traffic cameras to New Orleans streets, a plan he unveiled recently as part of next year’s budget plan. Traffic cameras are expected to bring in $24 million in 2017. Jeff Hebert, Landrieu’s chief administrative officer, said Oct. 26 that neighborhood groups and schools had requested the cameras, and the city conducted speed tests in school zones and found that drivers speed 60 percent of the time. District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell asked the administration to present more data on whether more cameras mean safer roads. District E Councilman James Gray said the city should rethink the cost of

concrete,” Becker said. “But the state wanted to be fastidious, so it dragged on.” The path is set to run up Marconi Drive and meet up with existing bike trails along Wisner and Robert E. Lee boulevards, connecting with the Harrison Avenue trail. The park’s board of directors heard updates on the bike path at its regular meeting Oct. 25. Becker said the path’s progress is “thrilling” after six years of struggle. “It’s really, really important to have this path, if you see the number of people who jog in the right of way on Marconi,” Becker said. “It’s a huge safety measure.” Construction could start up as early as December, Becker said, and the new path is expected to open by spring 2017.
8. NOPD unveils
technology plans
New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Chief Michael Harrison previewed some of NOPD’s technology plans for 2017 at his department’s budget hearing in front of the New Orleans City Council Oct. 27. NOPD’s 2017 budget includes an $8 million increase from its 2016 allocation. NOPD will roll out license plate readers on its fleet of vehicles, and the department has a vendor lined up for its false alarm enforcement, for which the city expanded fee increases in 2015 after reports found that officers often responded to false alarms at the potential expense of responding to actual crimes. Harrison said NOPD reduced false alarms from the 50 biggest false alarm offenders by 40 percent. Officers also will be able to issue tickets and citations through its “ecitation” improvements expected before Mardi Gras 2017. NOPD’s INSIGHT program aims to be one of the country’s largest and “most sophisticated” early detection systems to identify problem officers. NOPD recently rolled out its open-data MAX system, which Harrison says allows the public to access the same data as NOPD, part of an effort to make NOPD “the most transparent” police department in the U.S. The City Council will vote on the city budget after all departments have presented their plans.

Our ‘activist’ attorney general LOUISIANA VOTERS ELECTED JEFF LANDRY ATTORNEY GENERAL LAST YEAR, but he seems to think he
won the governor’s race. Landry has spent his first year as AG behaving as though he’s running the state with — or against — Gov. John Bel Edwards. Landry, a tea party Republican, has a penchant for grandstanding, which he showed in his sole term as a congressman. Just months into the job, he was the only House member to turn down a meeting President Barack Obama called with GOP House members about the debt crisis and looming government shutdown. “I don’t intend to spend my morning being lectured to by a president whose failed policies have put our children and grandchildren in a huge burden of debt,” Landry said at the time. In the next election cycle, he lost to fellow Republican Congressman Charles Boustany. Not long after that, Obama delivered a speech about jobs to a joint session of Congress, during which Landry held up a sign that read, “DRILLING = JOBS.” The stunt got Landry lots of attention but little respect. He passed no bills during his short stay in Congress. Even more bizarre, he tried to intervene when the University of Louisiana at Lafayette began offering an LGBT studies minor (which consisted of existing classes). All this was just a run-up to the attention-seeking mischief Landry has created since becoming AG in January. In the spring, he backed a failed legislative bill that would have allowed him to halt state construction funding to municipalities (primarily New Orleans) that had “sanctuary cities” policies. Several months later, he grabbed headlines when a Honduran national with no driver’s license caused a bus crash that killed two and injured dozens in St. John the Baptist Parish. Landry returned to Washington D.C. to huff and puff about sanctuary cities — again to no avail other than cheap publicity for himself — implying New Orleans was somehow to blame for the accident.

Landry may have his eye on the 2019 election, but he has yet to prove he can faithfully do the job he has. The driver in question lived in Jefferson Parish, which consistently identifies immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. Now Landry has set his sights on Edwards — or rather, on the Governor’s Mansion. After Edwards issued an executive order barring discrimination in the hiring decisions of state agencies and contractors (using language that was in place under Governors Kathleen Blanco and Mike Foster), Landry refused to approve dozens of state contracts because he disagreed with Edwards’ policy. Edwards sued Landry and lost on a technicality. Now the AG has sued back, accusing Edwards of “legislating through executive fiat.” Landry claims to be taking up for the legislative will, but there’s no real evidence that he’s doing anything more than promoting himself for higher office. Landry may have his eye on the 2019 election, but he has yet to prove he can faithfully do the job he has.

CLANCY DUBOS @clancygambit
Now it’s the DiMarco scandal AS IF THE MIKE YENNI SEXTING SCANDAL WEREN’T EMBARRASSING ENOUGH FOR JEFFERSON PARISH VOTERS, now the feds have
been notified that parish Registrar of Voters Dennis DiMarco set up a special VIP voting machine in his private conference room during early voting week. DiMarco told WWL-TV’s Paul Murphy the private voting machine was “not a big issue,” but the U.S. Attorney’s Office and Secretary of State Tom Schedler begged to differ. Louisiana law expressly states, “Each voting machine shall be placed inside the polling place and shall be in full view of the public from the time the election begins until the last elector has voted.” What part of that sentence does DiMarco not understand?
Maybe it’s a coincidence, but DiMarco also is a close friend and top supporter of embattled Parish President Yenni. DiMarco co-chaired Yenni’s transition team when Yenni was elected Kenner mayor in 2010 — and he was one of only five people on Yenni’s transition team a year ago when Yenni was elected parish president. And only weeks ago, in early October, Yenni appointed DiMarco to the Finance Authority of Jefferson Parish — representing the parish president. All of which adds a suspicious dimension to the ongoing drama over the parish president’s sexting scandal and the mounting effort to recall him. As Jefferson’s registrar of voters, DiMarco is charged under state law with verifying — or disqualifying — signatures on the Recall
Yenni petition. Interestingly, DiMarco’s friendship with Yenni may have led to the discovery of the private voting machine. On Oct. 25, the first day of early voting, Recall Yenni leader Rob Evans set up shop in the parking lot outside the parish office building in Elmwood, seeking signatures on the recall petition from early voters who queued up inside. At some point, DiMarco confronted Evans and told him he needed to be 600 feet from the building. Evans refused, citing a 1990s Louisiana Su-
preme Court ruling that said 100 feet was far enough. A cellphone video captured the tense exchange. Later, when Evans went inside to talk to DiMarco, an assistant registrar told Evans he could vote early on the private machine. An attorney, Evans couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He accepted the offer and later got a photo of the machine. He also called the feds. Meanwhile, parish voters, some of them senior citizens using walkers — stood in line for an hour or longer waiting to vote. Schedler’s office got wind of the federal complaint and immediately seized the machine and voter signature book. Both will be kept under guard until Nov. 8. It will be interesting to see who got to use that machine. In a letter to DiMarco, Schedler wrote that the seizure was “necessary to preserve the transparency and integrity of early voting and to promote confidence within
the general public regarding the voting process.” A staffer in Schedler’s office added, “We have never heard of such a setup.” Borrowing a page from his pal Yenni, DiMarco blithely told Murphy the VIP voting machine was “really a convenience for those whose time is, for lack of a better word, maybe more valuable than others’.” I can’t make this stuff up, folks. If he has an ounce of integrity, DiMarco should either retire or recuse himself from the recall petition verification process. If not, the Parish Council should consider removing him for cause — or suspending him pending any state or federal investigations and the recall drive. At a minimum, DiMarco’s flouting of state (and perhaps federal) law during early voting — and his long, close friendship with Yenni — hardly suggest he’s going to objectively review voter signatures on the recall petition.

Hey Blake, I was at the Lakefront on the street that goes by the New Orleans Yacht Club and dead ends at a circle. About halfway between that circle and Lakeshore Drive are some ruins of what looks like a once grand establishment. What was this and what happened?
Dear reader, You stumbled onto the remains of what many New Orleanians remember as a restaurant row called West End Park. For nearly 175 years, the lakefront around there also was a resort area, with hotels, music clubs and an amusement park overlooking Lake Pontchartrain. The restaurants are what most people remember. The oldest, Bruning’s, was a landmark at West End for more than 140 years. Theodor Bruning originally opened his restaurant in the Carrollton area in the 1840s. He moved it to West End in 1859. Fried and boiled

seafood, whole stuffed flounder and fried chicken were among the restaurant’s specialties. Its enormous wooden bar was salvaged after Hurricane Katrina and now is used at the restaurant in the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. Hurricane Georges destroyed Bruning’s in 1998, but it relocated to an adjacent building until Hurricane Katrina washed it all away. Fitzgerald’s restaurant was another West End favorite from the 1940s through the 1990s. Its building, which sat on stilts, jutted out the farthest into Lake Pontchartrain, offering spectacular lakefront views. Hurricane Georges also badly damaged that restaurant, and it was

torn down. Other popular West End seafood spots over the years included The Bounty, Maggie & Smitty’s Crabnett, Papa Roselli’s, Fontana’s and Swanson’s seafood restaurants. The area isn’t much to look at today, with construction nearby on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permanent pump station at the 17th Street Canal. It’s unlikely a restaurant will open there now, since the area is outside the levee protection system.
anniversary of her birth. Born in Baltimore on Oct. 31, 1816, Josephine moved to New Orleans as a young girl to live with her sister after the death of their mother. She married Warren Newcomb, a partner in a prosperous wholesale grocery business. When he died in 1866, he left his fortune to his wife and their daughter, Harriott Sophie. Sophie’s death four years later at the age of 15 devastated Josephine. To honor her daughter, she donated funds (more than $3 million over her lifetime) to establish a women’s college at Tulane University. Newcomb College opened in 1887 as the first degree-granting coordinate college for women in the United States. The college’s art school became known for its pottery, which is highly collectible. As part of a restructuring plan by Tulane after Hurricane Katrina, Newcomb College was closed in July 2016. After a five-year legal battle, the college exists as the Newcomb College Institute, which coordinates women’s studies programs on campus.

DAMON BURNS GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS EAST and played sports at St. Augustine High School, but when it came time for undergraduate work, he moved on to Atlanta and Houston. He felt the pull of New Orleans, though, and moved back one year before Hurricane Katrina. “I didn’t have big plans at the time,” he says. “The city wasn’t doing that well at the time, and a lot of young people were getting concerned.” He spent 10 years working in investment and corporate banking, but as the new executive director of the Finance Authority of New Orleans (FANO), Burns’ job now is to help people get low-interest loans to buy homes in Orleans Parish. “Our mission is important to me — seeing low- to moderate-income families get on their feet and get into a stable home life situation.” Burns says his life away from finance is filled with reading, family and friends. — KEVIN ALLMAN

HEALTH GUARDIANS — A PROGRAM OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANs — helps guide people in at-
risk communities through an intimidating health system. Patient advocates serve as liaisons through the system, so by the end of the program, patients “are asking all these questions, they understand their conditions, and they really feel comfortable having that open communication and dialogue with their physician,” business manager Seema Dave says. “The focus of Health Guardians is to empower them, to educate them, to connect them with a primary care provider, and to really teach them how to advocate for themselves,” Dave says. “It’s really taking the time to understand the full context of their situation, understand their barriers and really help them every step of the way.” Patients may be homeless and many don’t have basic needs met, and often rely on emergency rooms for primary care or to refill prescriptions. As division business manager, Dave oversees a dozen programs to help “empower people who don’t have a voice.” “I really enjoy the challenge — the budgeting part, the finance part, marketing, writing,” Dave says. “Anything that’s versatile and challenging, that’s what motivates me. When I see a challenge I just want to go for it.” — ALEX WOODWARD

Maj. David R. Dixon is an award-winning poet and children’s book author. “Marines don’t necessarily emote very well … if you can imagine that,” he notes dryly, making an observation familiar to many with a service member in the family. In response, he created Goodnight Marines, a children’s book that tells the story of a military family through a small boy’s nighttime imaginings. The book, illustrated by Army veteran and Disney animator Phil Jones, has sold more than 5,000 copies. “It’s sometimes hard to talk about what we do overseas. … This is a way that, in some small part, Phil and I can help Marines connect with their families,” Dixon says. His first book, the poetry collection Call in the Air, won a 2014 award from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation.

“The great thing about credit unions is that they’re member-owned,” says Jarvis, president and CEO of ASI Federal Credit Union. “So instead of focusing on driving up profits, our profits are reinvested to benefit members.” Jarvis’ knack for numbers led to her earning a degree in finance from Southeastern University and a Master of Business Administration from Louisiana State University. Camped out in a hotel in Baton Rouge after Hurricane Katrina, she learned “every area of operation” for credit unions while working for national regulators seeking to restore these finance cooperatives statewide. “ASI is about serving members from different economic backgrounds,” Jarvis explains, noting initiatives such as Wheels to Work loans to provide transportation for those returning to the workforce. “This aspect of social responsibility is huge for us and drives us to impact and serve the underserved.” — FRANK ETHERIDGE

Orleans. Now in the thick of their second Carnival season, Royal Design House coowners Ashley Sehorn (bottom) and Katie Johnson are busy designing, sourcing, sewing, transporting and preserving garments for Mardi Gras royalty and court members in krewes such as Hermes. “We do all of our beading in-house,” Johnson says. “Everything’s hand done, we rarely ever use glue … it’s definitely a different kind of Mardi Gras costume than a lot of the stuff you’ll see.” For new costumes, the designers craft ornate mantles and Medici collars from materials largely sourced from New York, where they’ve logged as much as 10 miles a day traipsing around the Garment District. During the off-season, they repair and preserve historic Carnival costumes and accessories, which often have intricate beadwork and rare metallic fabrics. “Those costumes are irreplaceable,” Sehorn says. “It’s really cool to keep the clubs using them.” — KAT STROMQUIST BOOK CURRENTLY READING: THE WITCHES: SALEM, 1692 BY STACY SCHIFF (SEHORN)

DAVID KHEY HEADS THE DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, which he is working to make a key partner to criminal justice agencies statewide to “get everyone on the same page,” with agencies working alongside everyone involved in the criminal justice process. “There’s not too many people doing what we do: effectively work with partners, know the science better, and do their jobs alongside us to understand what we can move forward,” says Khey, who lives in New Orleans. “Finding partners that can work together and finding teams that can work together is where the chasm has been.” Khey has worked with the 22nd Judicial District Court in St. Tammany and Washington parishes on a behavior health re-entry court program, which is being modeled statewide. Khey also helped implement a vocational training re-entry program at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. He’ll release a book, Crime and Mental Health (Springer), with his wife Jamie Hector next year. — ALEX WOODWARD

Khunkhun helps youth flagged as “troubled” by providing a strength-based approach to therapy that helps children with emotional and behavioral problems. Khunkhun, a psychiatris, also trains resident physicians and medical students from Tulane University School of Medicine. At New Orleans Therapeutic Day Program, Khunkhun makes sure that kids who often get written off are assisted with schooling, time at home and medical care. “The idea is that even one attachment figure can make a really big difference in kids’ lives,” Khunkhun says. He brings his longtime love for sports to encourage kids’ development, including video games. “We do this by trying to teach skills that they can work together and have fun, like developing kids should have fun,” Khunkhun says. In the future, he’s committed to continuing to break down the stigma associated with kids who are suffering from P.T.S.D., depression, anxiety and other conditions that can be treated once identified and transforming the New Orleans Therapeutic Day Program into a private nonprofit. — ANDREA BLUMENSTEIN

to pursue technical studies at Dillard University. She first became interested in computer coding in college — “I was playing around MySpace and wanted to make my page pretty,” she says. “Then I started making websites. I didn’t look at it as a career opportunity at the time.” Soon she was running a site called Good Nola (focusing on positive developments post-Hurricane Katrina) and another called Minority Weirdos. Today she works with homeless programs at VIA LINK, providing data quality and human services software for metro New Orleans groups working with homeless people. She also co-founded Teens for Tech, a program to bring technology to youth. Her one-day seminar, Teen Tech Day, is now in its sixth year. Though King was born in the 8th Ward, she grew up and still lives in New Orleans East. “Housing-wise, it’s going good out there,” she says. “It’s slowly moving when it comes to businesses, but we’re getting a lot of small local businesses.” What does she do for fun? “Happy hours!” — KEVIN ALLMAN

The ACA provided for Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) to place overall patient care in the hands of primary care physicians, eliminating duplication of tests and multiple doctor visits. He was motivated by watching his grandfather spend his days in a succession of doctors’ waiting rooms to receive treatment for diabetes. “Nobody was ever working with him as a whole person,” Lindsey says. “He was just floating. That’s what so many of our seniors are doing is floating. It’s very dangerous.” To change that landscape for seniors, he founded the health care start-ups Capra Health, a consulting firm, and GetHealthy Inc., a health and wellness platform, and joined the national ACO Aledade, where he is executive director, chairman and head of the southeast division. Under his direction, Aledade’s business grew 500 percent in Louisiana in nine months — and Lindsey facilitated the company’s choice of New Orleans for its regional headquarters. — KANDACE POWER GRAVES

Center, where she serves as medical director of the program. In a field that is critically underrepresented and often misunderstood, Malhotra is cultivating a network of caregivers working to improve quality of life for patients with chronic, life-limiting illnesses through improvements in pain management, communication and support systems. Malhotra serves as a consulting physician for the Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer Survivorship Program (AYA) and trains resident physicians and medical students at Ochsner. She was published in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry and has authored several book chapters on pain management related to her research. She is an admitted lover of Bravo TV and hiphop music and attributes having a psychiatrist husband (Dr. Khunkhun, also a 40 under 40 award winner) in her corner as key to achieving an essential work/life balance. She loves to spend time with her husband and two children, and they travel the globe to stay connected to family and friends in the U.S. and abroad. “You have to realize that not every moment, or the next, is promised to us,” she says. “My job makes me think about what is important. … Life is precious and fragile.

to 75 and experienced a 200 percent growth one year after another. But he is building more than physical structures; he’s also living up to his company’s mission statement of “building to have an enduring impact on our community.” That happens in many ways. For instance, Palmisano promotes company morale through fun events and has an on-site fitness facility where employees can work out on company time — an example of his belief in building great places to work and interact. But that belief extends beyond his company’s walls and into the community, with projects such as his partnership with PlayBuild NOLA, a nonprofit that teaches kids about architecture, design and construction. Calling PlayBuild “the perfect partnership,” Palmisano donated an outdoor classroom in Central City, which he hopes will help children there “find ways to create a better life.” — LAURA RICKS PAGE 29

A St. Augustine High School graduate, he polished his talent studying jazz at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), Tipitina’s Internship Program and the Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong Jazz Camp. Pappas graduated with honors from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City and has learned from and performed with Donald Harrison Jr. and Alvin Batiste. Besides playing piano, he writes music. In addition, he teaches young people about jazz, working with organizations such as Carnegie Hall, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Jazz at Lincoln Center to make jazz music less intimidating to young people.

and with her nonprofit College Beyond, she’s trying to connect students with resources they need. Originally from St. Louis, Woods is the first member of her family to graduate college and graduate school — from Harvard, no less. But that achievement was just the beginning of a career built in education. She has worked in outreach and recruitment, academic advising and in admissions and financial aid offices. She brings the sum of this knowledge and experience to College Beyond, the nonprofit she co-founded in 2015 to help low-income, first-generation college students succeed in college. “I’m a first-generation college graduate myself,” she says. “College was a really important experience for me because it exposed me to all that is possible. …. But it also showed me the vast inequity that we have when it comes to education. That sort of foundation made me interested in leveling the playing field.” Woods cites a statistic that, nationwide, only 9 percent of students that come from the lowest quartile of income graduate college, compared with nearly 80 percent in the top quarter for income. Narrowing that gap, she says, is her calling. — CATE ROOT

His startup, Scandy, makes 3-D scanning and printing from a smartphone possible. That one step — mobile access — is significant, but it’s not enough. “We’ve been focusing on building out the underlying technology,” Wiley says, working on “middleware,” the software that connects hardware on your electronic device with the software of an app. What kind of apps can the middleware allow developers to create? Maybe an app for virtually trying on clothes, or designing custom garments. Wiley calls himself a “sculptor and digital menace,” and it’s hard to figure out which half of that appellation is more surprising for a chief technology officer. But the relationship between these two identities, artist and software developer, is what makes Wiley a visionary. Wiley also founded Makers of NO in 2013, which hosts a makerspace (a technology version of DIY projects) at ArtEgg and weekly tinkering meetings. — CATE ROOT

UNDER A CANOPY OF WARM INCANDESCENT LIGHTS IN THE EVEN WARMER NIGHT AIR, a
Frenchmen Street wanderer can find a sprawling art oasis. The Frenchmen Art Market (619 Frenchmen St., 504-9411149; www.frenchmenartmarket.com) is an outdoor art bazaar that began as a pop-up and now features nearly 400 regional artists. “I get [notifications] on my phone all night from people checking in on Facebook, and we already have about 13,000 Instagram followers,” says Marketing Director Alicia Conforto. “It’s really exciting.” Patrons enter through a corridor lined with tables heaped with wares. This corridor opens into a bustling hive of vendors showcasing art that runs the gamut from sculpture, prints and paintings to pottery, blown glass, clothing and textiles. Everyday, exotic and seasonal items are available in a price range that accomodates the casual or serious collector. Owner and operator Kate Gaar and her team opened a second art space in Bywater. The Art Garage (2231 St. Claude Ave., 504-717-0750; www.facebook. com/theartgarageonstclaude) is located at St. Claude and Elysian Fields avenues, at the foot of the Rampart Street streetcar line. It’s a portal to the galleries that pepper the neighborhood. “Our mission statement ... is that we want to be the beginning of …
WEST ELM (2929 Magazine St., 504-895-2469; www.westelm.com) hosts a pop-up shop from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5. Goods by Walkingman Studios, Little Histories and Juliet Meeks Design will be for sale. MIA BELLA BEAUTY LOUNGE (745 Baronne St., 504-510-5963; www.miabellabeautylounge.com) celebrates its grand opening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3. There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres, wine, cocktails, makeup touch-ups, nail polish changes and hair styling. The boutique salon offers hair, skin and nail services, as well as waxing.
checking out the art world in the Bywater and the Marigny,” Gaar says. “This is the beginning of the art scene in this area. I want everyone to stop here and see what we’re doing before they continue on to the other galleries.” Located in a former auto garage, the gallery’s ceilings are dotted with opulent chandeliers. Art installations line its walls and shop fans hum constantly. A massive papier-mache elephant sculpture gets made over by the staff prior to major events. For the Hallow-
een block party, staffers coated the elephant with glossy black paint, covering the crowd-sourced graffiti that has decorated it since August’s Filthy Linen Night. There’s no food or live music at the markets — only art. The markets provide places where partygoers can get some downtime and artists can get exposure in a prime location. “My priority is … supporting artists [so they are] able to make a living at what they love to do,” Gaar says.
THE OUTLET COLLECTION AT RIVERWALK (500 Port of New Orleans Place, 504-522-1555; www.riverwalkneworleans.com) holds Food Truck Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday in November. On Friday, Nov. 4, Stuftstream, Theo’s Pizza, Fete Au Fete and Petite Rouge will sling their wares in Spanish Plaza. THE ART GARAGE (2231 St. Claude Ave., 504-717-0750; www.frenchmenartmarket.com) hosts a three-day set decoration and estate sale Nov. 4-6. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 5, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Retro and vintage furniture, art, kitchenware, clothing, movie props, costumes and more will be for sale, and prices are discounted up to 50 percent on Sunday.

Northshore Italian
Making sausage THE EMERIL LAGASSE FOUNDATION’S ANNUAL BOUDIN, BOURBON & BEER (www.boudinbourbonand-
beer.com) bash is at Champions Square on Nov. 4. More than 60 chefs will offer traditional or unorthodox versions of boudin. There is a vegetarian smoked mushroom boudin from chef Frank Brigtsen, wild boar boudin blanc from Emeril’s Delmonico’s Anthony Scanio and boudin-stuffed squid with bacon dashi aioli from Coquette’s Kristen Essig and Michael Stoltzfus.

Meribo serves pizza and Italian dishes in Covington. BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund AT FIRST GLANCE, MERIBO, A NEW RESTAURANT IN COVINGTON, looks
like many modern Italian restaurants. There are meatballs draped in red sauce, delicate hunks of burrata perched atop heirloom tomatoes and a healthy dedication to woodfired pizzas and pasta dishes. But take a closer look and you’ll find Benton’s bacon in many dishes, fried oysters on pizzas and Gulf shrimp and grits with collard greens. At their chic eatery, owners Vinnie LeDonne and Gavin Jobe embrace a combination of Italian concepts and techniques using local ingredients while adding Southern flair. (The restaurant’s name is a portmanteau of the Italian words meridionale, meaning southern, and cibo, for food.) The pinnacle of this effort is the restaurant’s signature Meridionale pie, featuring smoked pork shoulder, collard greens and sweet, soft strands of caramelized onion. The sturdy collard leaves hold up better than their more popular counterparts — arugula and spinach — curling and contouring in the blistering heat of the oven while retaining their characteristic bitter tang. Mozzarella and a juicy tomato base also top the chewy, flour-dusted crust, which is ushered blistering hot from a wood-burning oven. The oven, with its shiny white-tiled dome, anchors the dining room and is used to cook more than just pizzas. Sizzling cast-iron skillets are filled with melted mozzarella cheese, red sauce and a dollop of emerald green pesto. The dish is served with thick pieces of toasted ciabatta glistening with olive oil. It’s

hard to pick favorites where melted cheese is concerned, but this one is as strong a contender as any. Woodfired octopus arrives with chewy and charred tentacles nestled on a bed of creamy cannellini beans, which carry the essence of smoke thanks to nibs of bacon. Drizzled with pale yellow saffron aioli and served with warm slices of crusty bread, it’s a hearty, warming dish that feels appropriate for autumn as the days grow shorter and cooler. Thick, chewy ribbons of squid ink pappardelle are tossed with rich, full-bodied beef cheek ragout, showered with Parmesan and topped with a poached farm egg. When broken, the egg oozes creamy yolk into the pasta, and pistachio gremolata adds texture and dimension to the decadent dish. Linguine with clams features bouncy noodles coated in herb butter, snaked around tiny clams, broccolini and red chilies. It’s a simple and satisfying dish, but

the broccolini was overcooked and needed more crunch. A short list of desserts includes tiramisu served in a rocks glass, with tiered espresso and cognac-spiked cookies nestled with layers of sweet mascarpone cheese. It’s a classic preparation that, while not overly ambitious or exciting, delivers its simple pleasure. Though Meribo is a casual spot with a simple approach, the restaurant’s chic and sleek aesthetic serves as a reminder that this isn’t a Sunday red sauce joint but a modern affair.

Best in show THE OAK STREET PO-BOY FESTIVAL (www.poboyfest.com), which
moved up a month on the calendar to Oct. 23, drew thousands of attendees to the Carrollton area to sample traditional and creative poboys from more than 40 vendors and Oak Street businesses. From South Carrollton Avenue to Leake Avenue, plus a few blocks of Leonidas Street, the corridor was packed with food vendors, and there was music by Los Po-Boy-Citos, Lost Bayou Ramblers, Corey Henry and the Treme Funktet and others. Judges named winners in six poboy categories. Honors went to Red Fish Grill for its shrimp and pimiento cheese po-boy (best shrimp) and its barbecue oyster po-boy (best oyster). Bratz Y’all won best pork for its pork schnitzel po-boy and best sausage for its Nuernberger po-boy. Blue Oak BBQ won best beef for its pastrami brisket sandwich. Ajun Cajun’s soft-shell crab po-boy was named best seafood po-boy. — HELEN FREUND
Building foundations CELEBRITY CHEF AARON SANCHEZ, together with the John
Besh Foundation (www.johnbeshfoundation.org), is launching the Aaron Sanchez Scholarship Fund to mentor aspiring Hispanic chefs. It will support their training at the International Culinary Center, a culinary institute in New York City. “The idea is to give recognition to the next generation of Hispanic chefs who are often overlooked for high-level positions in the kitchen,”

dustry and says some of the major limitations that Hispanic chefs face are the expectations and difficulties with communication. “Most of their communication skills are a bit different since they come from diverse backgrounds, and it can be challenging for restaurant owners to communicate with the staff,” Sanchez said, noting that in the past decade, many second-generation Latinos have been brought up bilingual, which has improved communication in kitchens. To kick off the program, Sanchez is hosting a mentor’s dinner benefit at 7 p.m. Nov. 3 featuring his mentor, chef Douglas Rodriguez, and several chefs Sanchez mentored, including Deuki Hong, Jose Colin Jr. and Miles Landrem, who is the executive chef at the New Orleans location of Johnny Sanchez (930 Poydras St., 504-304-6615; www.johnnysanchezrestaurant. com). The five-course dinner is at Besh’s event space Pigeon & Prince (129 Camp St., 504-553-6738; www.pigeonandprince.com) and it includes wine pairings. Tickets for the dinner are $250. Those interested in the scholarship can apply at www.aaronsanchezscholarshipfund.com beginning Dec. 1. Applications must be completed by Mar. 31, 2017. School at the International Culinary Center starts in May 2017. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE INTERVIEW
Ryan Houlihan & Jennifer Jane CHEF/OWNERS OF WOLF ’N’ SWALLOW JENNIFER JANE AND RYAN “CHEF HOULA” HOULIHAN RUN THE SPEAKEASY WOLF ’N’ SWALLOW (www.facebook.com/wolfnswallow), a monthly
dinner party with changing themes at a French Quarter location. Last month’s dinner featured Southeast Asian dishes, and the next event (Nov. 17) will focus on autumn flavors. Jane and Houlihan spoke with Gambit about their project.
How does the dinner setup work?
Runway Cafe BRUNCH IN THE WALNUT ROOM 8AM-3PM TUES-SUN • 504-241-5300 6001 STARS & STRIPES BLVD. LOCATED AT THE LAKEFRONT AIRPORT WWW.MESSINASTERMINAL.COM
DINING CASUALLY IN THE FRENCH QUARTER DOESN’T GET ANY FINER.
JANE: We start off with a cocktail and ask everyone to introduce themselves, which helps to get everyone mingling. Then we invite everyone to sit down, and people can sit wherever they want. It’s super casual. It’s as if you had a dinner party at your own house and you have people that haven’t met each other before. We get super excited when someone buys a ticket that we don’t know. It’s kind of like half picnic, half intimate home dining experience. Depending on the theme, we dress the table differently. I have a visual arts background, so I have a lot of fun putting together the space and trying to create a unique environment. HOULIHAN: Because of the way the tables are set up, no matter what, you’re going to be near people you don’t know. We usually have some friends that know each other, but it’s still nice for others to feel integrated into it. I’ll come out and introduce myself and talk about what (food) there is, what I sourced locally and how I built it. We put a menu out beforehand, but there are always a few things that change, depending on what’s available and in season. … Our next meal is all about fall flavors, so we’re making a deviled duck egg with some blackened maple sausage, some Brussels sprouts slaw and local microgreens on top.

J: When (Houlihan) and I got together and fell in love, he started making me food and I just saw a light bulb go off in his head. I could tell he was the happiest when he was cooking. I’ve been (working) in the film business and am kind of an entrepreneur, so we brainstormed for a long time
about different things to do but decided to start with this. H: I’ve done a few pop-ups around town. I did food at Mick’s Irish Pub and at Pal’s (Lounge) and a few in front of the Voodoo Lounge. This was a way to incorporate that (experience) and do something a little different. We call it a speakeasy because we felt like “supper club” wasn’t quite right and pop-up was too informal. But a speakeasy is about having people in, being inviting and having people relax. It’s much easier than running a pop-up. We’ll cut off (ticket) sales the Tuesday before (the dinner), and I’ll go shopping that night for what I need. With a pop-up, I would just prep a bunch of food and hope I sell it. I had times where I was losing money, I had times where I was making money, but I never really knew. This way I can prepare, and have a better idea of what I need for the night.
Following Dinner Lab’s folding, do you see a model for successful supper clubs? J: It’s a toss-up as to whether that model would be beneficial for us. We’ve talked about moving it up so that we’d do (events) every other week instead of once a month. What I like about it is that we’re always meeting different people, and it’s always a different experience. Our prices range from around $30 to $60. I like being able to vary the price, because not everyone can afford to spend $50. H: I would think there would be a future for (events like these) and I appreciate the idea that Dinner Lab had … but I would never want to go that way with ours. … We like to keep it affordable. I like giving everyone the chance to come. — HELEN FREUND

2014 Filus Malbec Reserve Mendoza, Argentina Retail: $18-$22
IT MAY SEEM COUNTERINTUITIVE THAT MANY GRAPES
develop more complex flavors when grown at higher altitudes, but it’s true. The country best proving that point is Argentina and its Uco Valley near the center of its wine industry, Mendoza. Malbec grapes benefit the most from higher altitudes — generally considered above 2,500 feet. Lower temperatures and increased sun exposure translate into better concentration of flavors and more complicated bouquets. The grapes for Filus are grown at 3,300 to 5,000 feet above sea level. In the cellar, the wine was vinified in stainless steel tanks for two weeks with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. In the glass, it offers aromas of spice, black currants, plum and chocolate. Tannins, emboldened by the thick grape skins, provide definition. Decant 20 minutes before serving. Drink it with rare steak, barbecue, meat-topped pizzas and roasted game. Buy it at: Poeyfarre Market, Spirit Wine, Robert Fresh Market on Robert E. Lee Boulevard and Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket.

MUSIC MIGUEL AND ALUNAGEORGE ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO SET THIS SHOW APART from the sprouting graveyard of Halloween-week events vying for your attention. Adding Sia — and 14-year-old Dance Moms wunderkind Maddie Ziegler, her snarling spirit-animal avatar in some of the most effective and affecting pop videos of this century — pushes it into the realm of the hottest tickets of the year. Sia hasn’t toured since 2011, which is to say before she became Sia, the mononymous, wigged-out superstar who broke YouTube in 2014 with the cagey representation of herself as a 4-foot beehive of unbridled energy and impossible body control. Today, “Elastic Heart” (with Ziegler taunting a transformational Shia LaBeouf in a prison ballet) and “Chandelier” (a possessed, solo hotel-room showstopper) together own enough views to have been seen by more than a quarter of everyone on Earth. At the 2015 Grammy Awards, Sia enlisted a second platinum stand-in: Kristen Wiig, who writhed with Ziegler around a trashed-room set, in a trading-places, domestic-abuse mise en scene, as the singer/songwriter performed “Chandelier” while facing the back wall, never once turning around. This “Nostalgic for the Present” production also backgrounds her, with videotaped cameos dancing in step with Ziegler’s onstage movements. Like everything else Sia does, it’s anything but routine. Tickets $32-$122 plus fees. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW
SOMETIMES STARTING AT THE END IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL A STORY. Legendary indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch’s • Opens Nov. 4 documentary Gimme Danger begins the story of the Stooges — the proto-punk • The Broad Theater band co-founded by then 20-year-old Iggy • 636 N. Broad St. Pop — by presenting the band’s messy and defeated 1974 break-up. • (504) 218-1008 Of course, that break-up wasn’t really the • www.thebroadtheater.com end of the Stooges’ story. The iconic Iggy (real name James Osterberg Jr.) continues to enjoy an often-brilliant solo career, and he and the other surviving Stooges mounted a series of triumphant 21st-century reunions. But the band’s “sputtering” demise (as Iggy describes it in the film) reminds old fans and notifies newcomers that the Stooges’ story was anything but rags-toriches. Like so many influential artists, the band’s unique status and reputation were built slowly over a period of decades. Jarmusch has his own special status as a founder of American independent film. His career highlights from 30-plus years include indie classics like Stranger Than Paradise, Mystery Train and Broken Flowers. The writer-director made Gimme Danger at the request of his old friend Iggy, and his film is best taken as a love letter to the band from a longtime fan. Six years younger than Iggy and hailing from Akron, Ohio, Jarmusch discovered the Stooges (who emerged from the not-too-distant Ann Arbor/Detroit area) while in high school. The band’s wild and primitive music contrasted sharply with both the blues-and-pop-based British Invasion and the hippie-era music coming from the West Coast. Like the Velvet Underground, the Stooges initially earned a small following that craved messy experimentation and shared a darker worldview. Jarmusch intends Gimme Danger as a subjective appreciation of what the director himself describes in the film’s opening sequence as “the greatest rock ’n’ roll band ever.” There’s a lot of historical detail in the film — too much for casual fans. But Jarmusch is content to cover the topics that interest him and let others fall by the wayside, all while letting the extended Stooges family speak for themselves. That approach seems a reasonable corrective for a band so under-appreciated during its brief but storied career. The film’s visual style relies heavily on collage, combining vintage commercials, newsreel footage and other found materials with new animations and rare, often previously unseen footage of the Stooges. Stories told by Iggy and other band members in interviews conducted for the film give shape to the archival material. Primary topics include the band’s discovery by record-industry visionary Danny Fields (with an assist from fellow Michigan rock pioneers the MC5), little-known influences on the Stooges such as experimental composer Harry Partch, and the first time David Bowie took Iggy under his wing. It’s all tightly constructed and flows naturally from one episode to the next, but Gimme Danger is more conventional in its methods than Jarmusch fans might expect. It’s as if the director wanted to remove himself from the equation and prevent his own creative choices from overshadowing the story of his favorite band. The film finally arrives at a parade of clips featuring many world-beating, convention-defying bands directly influenced by the Stooges, from the Ramones to the Sex Pistols to Sonic Youth. Many are shown gleefully breathing new life into Stooges songs that inspired them. That’s the legacy of a truly great band — and the reason films like Gimme Danger deserve to be seen. — KEN KORMAN

“SUCH A NASTY WOMAN.” Doreen
Interior & Exterior Plants - Seasonal Color
1135 PRESS ST. @ 2900 ST. CLAUDE (504) 947-7554 HAROLDSPLANTS.COM
Garner is an artist, not a politician, but she embraces the pejorative terms often used to describe her explorations of the black female body as a nexus of sensuality and oppression. In her video, Uniqa, she appears as a scantily clad dancer alluringly writhing to rap music in the harsh light of video projections of gory surgical procedures — an approach partly inspired by J. Marion Sims, the 19th-century “father of American gynecology,” who subjected female slaves to grisly experiments in his pursuit of medical breakthroughs.

Natori Green’s drawings and mixed-media works about African-American hair, rendered in a style between expressionism and arte naif, look startlingly unaffected and whimsical. Combing in the Mirror depicts a swarthy figure with natural hair against a background of pictures of women with straight, processed coifs in a contrast of cultures, while Can I Touch Your Hair? spotlights the sense of “otherness” sometimes associated with natural locks. Green’s sincerity infuses even edgier, more experimental works like Hair Consultant, in which strands of wavy dark hair pouring from between red papier mache lips extend a world of stark realities into the ether of surreal dreams. — D.

Winner of the 2012 Obie Award for Best New American Play and finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 4000 Miles masterfully and subtly captures the essence of each generation’s belief system through small gestures and ordinary conversation taking place in Vera’s living room. The dialogue is realistic, unvarnished and perhaps intentionally unexciting. Leo recently suffered a severe personal loss and Vera feels desperately lonely. Sutton delivers a stellar performance and Bartelle aptly portrays a young man struggling to find direction, yet the drama drags without visceral turning points to clearly demonstrate their deepening bond. Due to her hearing loss, Vera even misses one of Leo’s heart-wrenching stories and, therefore, the opportunity to comfort him. Leo, 21, has arrived at Vera’s apartment in the middle of the night, sweaty and unannounced. Once inside, he spouts platitudes about taking back power, giving his relationship space and “passive-aggressive bullshit.” Vera is frustrated by being unable to find her own words, but also imparts wisdom. Leo borrows $50 from her to scale a climbing wall at a gym, and Vera hobbles unsteadily around her apartment. Over several weeks, they share personal stories, and Leo assuages her grief. Vera’s husband, who died a decade ago, was the one who “did the explainin’.” Even so, Vera is opinionated and was a member of the Communist Party in her youth. The playwright based Vera on her own grandmother, who was politically active in New York, and Leo on her free-spirited cousin. Vera still shows signs of having been a firebrand and looks askance at her grandson’s aimlessness. “Sounds like a lot of New Age baloney,” she says, following one of her grandson’s diatribes. “It sounds stupid!” While in New York, Leo hopes to rekindle a relationship with Bec, a former girlfriend, but Bec (Annie Cleveland) is skeptical, accusing him of being immature. Vera reveals her feisty side in a conversation with Bec. “It’s more out of stupidity than anything else,” she says when explaining male behavior. The tipsy Amanda (Anna Toujas) brings a lighter note as a girl Leo picks up in a bar and tries to seduce. The slowly unfolding story can feel too talky, and begs for more action. For 4000 Miles to soar, there must be an interpersonal chemistry and profound devotion between Leo and Vera, and it never really gets there. Still, the intergenerational relationship shows the transformative ability love has to foster healing. — MARY RICKARD
