Melt Test highlights south Louisiana’s psychedelic scene

MELT TEST

BY ALeX WOODWArD @ALeXWOODWArD AFTER FIVE YEARS WORKING FOR LEVITATION, the preeminent

psychedelic music festival in Austin, Texas, Dan Brinner got homesick. “I wanted to come home and establish something here in a similar vein,” he says. Brinner returned to New Orleans with caitlin richard in 2016 and formed Melt House Productions with Jacob cabrera, booking psychedelic, garage rock and complementary far-out artists, promoted with colorful, hand-drawn posters and carving out a home for a burgeoning New Orleans scene of similarly mind-expanding sounds. On Oct. 4, Melt House debuts its inaugural Melt Test festival at Gasa Gasa, a daylong showcase featuring 15 bands, with headliner Frankie and the Witch Fingers and a sampling of south Louisiana’s psych and garage scenes, including BeNNI, Bipolaroid, Xander Harris, Loudness War, Melting coffin and The Painted Hands.

THURSDAY, OCT. 4 2 P.M.-2 A.M.

There also are video artists and sitespecific installations and live projections throughout the venue — from analog liquid light displays to distorted VHS manipulations from video artist Breathing Waters. “We want people to be disoriented enough that they’re not in the Gasa Gasa they know,” richard says. There also is an art market, a pop-up record shop from Skully’z recordz, food from Tacocat and more. Melt Test will expand to a three-day event in 2019, and the production group plans to release records by local artists (“We want people to stop running away to california labels,” Brinner says). The trio was inspired to start a production group after throwing an impromptu house show for a friend’s touring band that needed to find a venue at the last minute. “After the sixth time” helping book shows for bands looking for a place to play in New Orleans, richard says, Melt House made it official.

GASA GASA, 4920 FRERET ST., (504) 338-3567; WWW.GASAGASA.COM TICKETS $10

Its shows pull from across a contemporary psychedelic spectrum, from Bitchin Bajas’ mantra-driven drone at a floor-seated show at Mudlark Public Theatre to Adan Jodorowsky (son of filmmaker Alejandro) and emerging sounds from new New Orleans artists. “It will never be genre specific. It will always be vibe specific,” Brinner says. “It’s not about any sort of style or genre. Psychedelic is a descriptor … Melt Test is to melt the preconceptions about what psychedelia is, what it is to free yourself or free your mind, to experience something new without any sort of social constructs or rules, to engage with different people and different sounds.”

FRI.-SAT. OCT. 5-6, 12-13, 19-20 | Deutsches Haus celebrates the harvest festival at its new home at 1700 Moss St. in Midcity.

Historian Erin M. Greenwald and Mayor LaToya Cantrell display an app-based walking tour of New Orleans’ role in the slave trade.

Edward R. Tarpley,

the former District Attorney of Grant Parish, was honored last week by the Louisiana Family Forum for his work in helping to pass Senate Bill 243, a proposed constitutional amendment which, if approved by voters in November, would require unanimous juries in felony trials in Louisiana. The measure has wide bipartisan support at the state and local levels.

Louisiana has the highest rate

of congenital syphilis cases in infants among the 50 states, according to statistics released last week by the centers for Disease control and Prevention (cDc). More than 900 babies in the U.S. were born with syphilis in 2017, according to the cDc, and five states accounted for 70 percent of all cases: california, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Syphilis numbers in infants have doubled since 2013, the cDc reported.

NEW APP PROVIDES WALKING TOUR OF NEW ORLEANS SLAVE TRADE LOCATIONS An app-based walking tour of the French Quarter aims to shed light on New Orleans’ role in the slave trade. On Sept. 27, Mayor LaToya cantrell and tourism officials unveiled historic markers and a preview of a mobile, app-based walking tour at the Historic New Orleans collection on royal Street — site of the Merieult House, home of Jean-Francois Merieult, who financed the trade of more than 750 enslaved people into North America from Africa over the course of three voyages. The building now is recognized with a bronze-and-brown marker by its front doors, facing royal Street’s busy foot traffic. “It’s more fitting now than ever that we uphold and acknowledge the history of our 300-year-old city,” cantrell said in a statement. “This initiative will allow us to honor the lives and dignity of those ancestors who were undoubtedly bought and sold here in New Orleans.” The New Orleans Slave Trade Marker Tour app was created by New York-based software company Oncell. each site has a chapter highlighting the stories, families and figures for each marker site; there also are chapters on the sugar and cotton trades, the takeover of Native American land and the impact of the Louisiana Purchase. each chapter also features at least one first-person testimony. There are five marker sites: the Historic New Orleans collection, The cabildo, St. Louis Hotel (now the Omni royal New Orleans Hotel), Franklin and Armfield compound (esplanade Avenue and royal Street), and the New Orleans Slave Depot (now the Four Winds Apartments on Baronne Street). A sixth marker is planned for the former Banks’ Arcade, now the St. James Hotel. Historian erin M. Greenwald said the tour “takes steps to recognize the difficult history of the slave trade and recover the stories of some of the more than 130,000 men, women, and children who were carried to New Orleans against their wills to be sold in the city’s slave markets.” PAGe 8

Mark romig, President and ceO of the 2018 NOLA Foundation President, said in a statement that the app’s objective is to “tell the complete history of our city and to use this history to teach and provide a roadmap for the future.”

‘Sobering center’ may be part of 2019 municipal budget Instead of spending the night passed out in public or locked in jail, intoxicated people at risk of endangering themselves or others could sober up inside a short-term “sobering center,” which some city officials hope to support in the city’s 2019 budget. The center would provide nonviolent intoxicated people a bed to spend four to eight hours sobering up under the care of a team from Odyssey House, the community health organization focused on detox services and behavioral and medical health care. When it comes to treating addiction and mental health care, “we know jail is not the right place,” New Orleans city council Vice President Helena Moreno said at the council’s criminal Justice committee meeting Sept. 24. Intoxicated people occupying emergency room beds to sober up is “completely unacceptable,” Moreno said. “We can do so much better.” The center would hold 20 beds and could serve up to 80 people a day. Police or eMS would deliver an intoxicated person to the center, where staff would perform a triage to determine their care. People would be eligible for the treatment only if they had no warrants and if they were not facing other charges related to being taken into custody. Odyssey House ceO ed carlson expects the annual cost of operation of a sobering center to be roughly $700,000, and city Hall officials are likely to find money for it in the forthcoming 2019 budget. “I’ll put it down every time,” said Moreno, adding that the city’s tourism board and other agencies also should support the program. “It’s important for tourism to have some skin in the game in this” and to “find a way for them to invest so the city doesn’t get hit with the entire burden,” she said. Advocates argue a sobriety center also could have a significant cost savings benefit, with potentially fewer people entering the criminal justice system and local hospitals and emergency rooms. It’s unclear whether the program would be subject to the city opening up a request for proposals

or be set up through a cooperative endeavor agreement between the city and Odyssey House. Odyssey House also is renovating the former Bohn Ford building on South Broad Street, which is expected to open in February. That facility will expand its bed capacity to more than 180 beds.

CPC’s short-term rental decision delayed; will be taken up Oct. 3 After delaying a decision to send its recommendations for the future of short-term rentals to the New Orleans city council, the city Planning commission (cPc) will hold a special meeting at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3 inside the city council chamber. The cPc voted to defer a decision on the plans at its hours-long meeting on Sept. 25, and a decision on its recommendations are due to the council by Oct. 5. The full council ultimately will decide what the new rules will be. In the cPc staff’s latest report issued last month, it suggests that buildings with commercial STrs — which currently are available yearround in commercially zoned areas — should be capped at 25 percent of the building, or one unit, whichever is greater. It also recommends getting rid of the current “temporary” STr license type, which allowed whole homes to be rented up to 90 days a year. The cPc staff recommends replacing that with two rental types that mandate the operator live on-site. The “temporary” license type was “intended to be a minimally impactful short term rental type that is only utilized during major events,” the report says. Instead, “the lack of a permanent resident requirement, the generous 90-day limit, and the absence of density restrictions has led to a proliferation of temporary STr licenses.” According to the report, temporary rentals enabled “de-facto whole-home [rentals], with no permanent resident or owner present. This can lead to quality of life issues, such as noise, loss of neighborhood character, and other impacts ... These negative impacts are exacerbated in residential areas, where most of the temporary licenses are located.” Housing advocates also proposed that officials add an affordable housing component to STr development to offset what they say — and what the cPc’s latest staff report seems to confirm — has been the removal of potential homes from housing stock.

Childish Gambino may have postponed some of his tour schedule, but still will headline this year’s Voodoo Music + Arts Festival.

Action center and Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance suggested commercial STr development in certain areas of town should include a requirement that creates affordable housing on a one-toone match. Some commissioners were open to the idea. commissioner Kyle Wedberg said he likes the idea of “the conversion of some of these existing units into affordable housing” to “[balance] out a building with affordable units and STr units.”

Aziz Ansari to ‘work out new material’ Oct. 26 at Mahalia Jackson Theater Aziz Ansari, the standup comedian and star of TV’s Parks & Recreation and Master of None, has launched what he calls a “popup tour” to try out new material, and he’s coming to the Mahalia Jackson Theater Oct. 26. Ansari has kept a low profile during most of 2018 since a woman, using a pseudonym, published an article accusing him of sexual misconduct on a date. Ansari acknowledged the date occurred, but said he considered their sexual relations consensual. A review of his show “Working Out New Material,” published last week in Greenwich Time, said Ansari’s sold-out show found a receptive audience. Though Ansari didn’t address the controversy, the website said, he did discuss “sex, relationships, internet outrage, news coverage, racism and ‘self-righteous wokeness.’”

Tickets to Ansari’s Mahalia Jackson show are $35-$65 and on sale now.

Childish Gambino postpones tour, but still will headline Voodoo Things looked dicey for Donald Glover’s tour schedule following a foot injury at a recent show in his current “This Is America” tour — what he says may be his last, in conjunction with a forthcoming album that also may be the final one for his versatile childish Gambino alter ego. A recent show in Dallas was cut short, and venue organizers for last week’s show in Los Angeles announced that the show would be postponed. A statement from creative agency Wolf + rothstein said the remainder of the tour also is postponed — but there were few details, including which dates would be affected and if new dates had been scheduled. It’s one thing to move bookings for arena tours — but childish Gambino also was scheduled to headline both Austin city Limits and the Voodoo Music + Arts experience in October, two festival gigs at which childish Gambino was expected to be a big draw. In a Sept. 26 statement from Wolf + rothstein, Glover will move most of the remaining tour dates to December, but his appearance at this year’s Austin city Limits is canceled. He’s still scheduled to appear at Voodoo on Oct. 27, which “is moving forward as planned.”

COMMENTARY

Jindal’s hypocritical U-turn on Medicaid $240,000. That’s what

it costs to buy former Gov. Bobby Jindal’s principles, it seems. Last week, Jindal joined the board of directors of Wellcare Health Plans Inc., a Florida-based company that describes itself as focusing “exclusively on providing government-sponsored managed care services, primarily through Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans.” Wait a minute, you say: Is this the same Bobby Jindal who made his opposition to Medicaid expansion in Louisiana a cornerstone of his gubernatorial platform and a talking point in his quixotic (and very brief) 2016 campaign for president? The Bobby Jindal who said during a presidential debate, “Simply expanding Medicaid does not improve health care outcomes. ... I don’t think anybody should be expanding Medicaid. It’s a mistake to create new and more expensive entitlement programs when we can’t afford the ones we’ve got today”? Just last year Jindal wrote in POLITIcO, “Whether through a massive expansion of Medicaid beyond its original target populations of poor children, disabled and the elderly, or through exchange subsidies for the vast majority of participants, Obamacare masked the true cost of health care, rather than truly ‘bending the cost curve down.’ Pretending that subsidized health care is affordable without considering the true cost to taxpayers is disingenuous at best.” Who’s being disingenuous? According to a filing with the U.S. Securities & exchange commission (Sec), Jindal will serve on Wellcare’s Audit, Finance and regulatory compliance and Information Technology Oversight committees. Wellcare board members receive $90,000 per year, the filing says, with additional annual retainers of $12,000 and $8,000 for the two committee positions. Jindal also will receive 405 shares of Wellcare common stock, which was trading at $307.48 on the New York Stock exchange the day the announcement was made — making Jindal’s compensation package worth more than $240,000.

A DVO c AT e S TA F F P H OTO B Y T r AV I S S P r A D L I N G

Not a bad payday for making a U-turn on his oft-stated position that Medicaid shouldn’t be expanded. Jindal’s hypocrisy would be comical if it weren’t for the real-world implications of his dogged refusal, as governor, to expand Medicaid in Louisiana — when he was aiming for higher office. His successor, Gov. John Bel edwards, ran on a platform that included expanding Medicaid and won handily. Since edwards took office, 483,045 Louisianans now have health insurance because of Medicaid expansion, according to figures compiled by the Louisiana Department of Health (which Jindal once ran). Of those, 54,188 are in Orleans Parish. Since the expansion, tens of thousands of Louisianans have received screenings and treatments for cancer, diabetes and hypertension. For a state with some of the worst health outcomes in the nation, this has been a life-saving change. How many more would have had access to such life-saving procedures had Jindal accepted the federal Medicaid expansion during his tenure? In making the announcement, Wellcare chairman chris Michalik called Jindal “a leader who has dedicated his career to public service and advancing innovative healthcare policies.” One has to wonder how closely, if at all, Wellcare looked at Jindal’s record as governor. He left Louisiana in a fiscal ditch and her citizens grossly underinsured. If he does to Wellcare what he did to Louisiana, the company’s stockholders should beware.

Ten-year milestone for 504ward TRAGEDY OFTEN BRINGS OPPORTUNITY along with loss.

Hurricane Katrina brought unprecedented devastation to New Orleans, but in the storm’s aftermath natives and newcomers banded together to rebuild the city in ways great and small. It changed our landscape, our politics, and our culture — just as past tragedies have done. One post-Katrina success story that continues to leave its mark is 504ward (www. 504ward.com), a nonprofit created to keep talented young professionals in the city. Founder Leslie Jacobs recalls seeing an inundated New Orleans on network TV while evacuated in Lafayette and saying to her husband, “It’s our kids’ generation that’s going to rebuild the city.” That observation led Jacobs to create 504ward. “I watched this wave of highly motivated, smart young people who were returning and new to the city come to help, and I thought, ‘We need to keep this talent,’” Jacobs says. “I thought it was important to welcome anyone who wanted to be part of rebuilding the city. We did that by connecting the newcomers with people who know the city.” An example of that connectivity is 504ward’s popular Dine Around series, which brings young professionals into the homes of, um, older locals for a dinner of networking, advice and conversation. My wife Margo and I have hosted several dinners; we always felt we got more out of it than our guests did. The connections extend far beyond dinner and conversation. 504ward has engaged more than 22,000 young professionals. As a result, many who arrived in their 20s and 30s are now leading new businesses and mentoring the next generation of business and civic leaders. “That strategy has created an incredible economic asset for New Orleans,” says Jacobs, whose efforts with the organization (and other civic endeavors) earned her Gambit‘s “New Orleanian of the Year” honor in 2011. Jacobs notes that 504ward’s network has proved so important to the city’s economic development success that it recently integrated into the

New Orleans Business Alliance, a public-private initiative that serves as the city’s official economic development organization. “The work of 504ward is essential to the upward trajectory that the New Orleans economy is experiencing,” says Quentin L. Messer Jr., ceO of the Business Alliance. “Our young professionals represent our community’s next business leaders, entrepreneurs, government and not-for-profit leaders. Participants in 504ward have made a tremendous impact on our city and are poised to continue transforming our city for the better.” 504ward is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in a number of ways, including a “Young Professional Day of Service” held Sept. 29. Several hundred young professionals volunteered to work with a variety of nonprofits at sites across the city. Looking ahead, Jacobs says the challenges that greeted new arrivals a decade ago have evolved. “New Orleans is not a city of large corporate home offices,” she notes. “The challenge is not helping young people with their first or second jobs, but helping them move up into higher levels of responsibility at their jobs. New Orleans is becoming a more expensive city as well. While we still face challenges, people no longer feel you have to have grown up here to be successful or plugged in here.” That’s something to celebrate, for sure.

Hey Blake,

While walking through the French Quarter on Ursulines Avenue, I saw street tiles marked “Angelo Brocato Ladies Entrance.” I’ve only known Brocato’s ice cream shop to be in Mid-City. Is this the same business?

Dear reader,

Angelo Brocato and three generations of his family have been known for creating and selling authentic Italian gelato, ice cream, cookies and cannoli in the city since 1905, though the spot most New Orleanians know at 214 N. carrollton Ave. actually is their third location. Author Justin Nystrom chronicles the Brocato story in his new book, Creole Italian: Sicilian Immigrants and the Shaping of New Orleans Food Culture. Angelo Brocato was born in cefalu, Italy in 1875. He and his brother apprenticed in the pastry and gelato trade in Palermo. After emigrating to the United States they opened a small ice cream parlor near Decatur Street and Ursulines Avenue in 1905. About 10 years later, the business moved to 623 Ursulines Ave. Nystrom writes that in 1924 Brocato hired Italian craftsmen to decorate the interior of the tiled parlor with archways and place a mosaic with the family name on the threshold. The gelateria became a popular gathering spot for the many Italians who lived in the French Quarter at that time.

The “ladies entrance” to Angelo Brocato’s second location in the French Quarter.

Nystrom says the “ladies entrance” mentioned in the mosaic tile was a common custom of the time, “an artifact of the 19th-century tradition of separate dining spaces for ladies and families.” Brocato’s grandson Arthur, who now runs the family business, says “old Italians did not believe in young ladies venturing off by themselves. … They always had to have a chaperone if they were going someplace.” The Brocato family moved the business to its current carrollton Avenue location in 1981. It was heavily damaged during Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures in 2005 but reopened to great fanfare in September 2006. The former location on Ursulines Avenue now houses the French patisserie and coffee shop croissant D’Or.

tectural highlight in downtown New Orleans. Located between Poydras and Lafayette streets, the outdoor plaza was conceived by leaders of New Orleans’ Italian-American community as a public tribute to the contributions of Italians to the city. The $1.65 million piazza was designed by noted postmodern architect charles Moore and August Perez and Associates (now Perez APc), who combined elements of classical and renaissance architecture in the brightly colored public plaza, which includes a fountain, columns, a clock and bell tower. The property was acquired in a land swap between the city and canal Place developer Joseph canizaro. The piazza was dedicated on March 19, 1978 — the feast day of St. Joseph, patron saint of Sicily. Not all reviews were kind, however. States-Item columnist charles “Pie” Dufour called it a “monstrosity.” New York Times architecture critic Paul Goldberger called it a “wild, mad vision, as if the roman Forum were re-erected in Las Vegas,” but also said it was “boundlessly good natured” and a “joyous embrace of the classical tradition.” After several years of decline, the piazza was restored in 2004 by developers Darryl Berger and roger Ogden during their conversion of the nearby Lykes center into Loews New Orleans Hotel. The piazza recently underwent another facelift and is expected to reopen soon.

Southern rep Theatre’s new home is the former St. rose de Lima church on Bayou road. it lost its space in canal Place in 2012, after a 19-year tenure. Aimee Hayes, Southern rep’s artistic director and the director of A Doll’s House, Part 2, laughs at the unintended significance of opening the season with this show. Ibsen’s A Doll’s House famously ends with Nora walking away from her marriage and slamming the door on the way out. Hnath’s sequel opens with her knocking on that door and a new beginning.

UNLIGHT STREAMS IN FROM THE FORMER ST. ROSE DE LIMA CHURCH’S GOLDEN-HUED STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS. The vaulted ceiling is painted sky blue, and white plaster walls surround tall arches trimmed in crimson and gold. coffee-colored wooden floors show some wear, but the craftsmanship is sturdy. Just weeks before Southern rep Theatre opens its new home and 2018-2019 season, there’s clutter: a stack of old church pews, a vintage light-up bingo board, tables, chairs and a shopping cart fill the space as construction is being finished. In the midst of the mess, beneath the halo of golden light, Trey Burvant and Jessica Podewell are rehearsing an emotional final scene from A Doll’s House, Part 2. Lucas Hnath’s play is a modern sequel to Henrik Ibsen’s Victorian-era drama about Torvald and Nora Helmer, a couple whose marriage is undone by the social and gender norms of the period. Opening A Doll’s House, Part 2 in the converted space at 2541 Bayou road is a milestone for the company, which has been without a home of its own since

OPEN HOUSE

The cast of A Doll’s House, Part 2 rehearses in Southern rep Theatre’s new home.

“It sort of fortuitously happened that the play was about a woman coming home,” Hayes says. “It’s kind of funny that the first play we did out of canal Place was Streetcar (Named Desire), about a woman who has no home.” Southern rep announced plans to move into the Bayou road space in 2016. The church was constructed in 1915, but it has been vacant since Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. The renovation is part of a larger development initiative by the rose community Development corporation and Alembic community Development. Southern rep will occupy the 13,400-square-foot church, and the project includes restoration of two former school

buildings on church grounds. One building will house the Waldorf School of New Orleans, a lower school, and the other will be a shared workspace occupied by local organizations KID smArT and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Jonathan Leit, director of Alembic, believes the $11.8 million development, which includes $4.7 million toward the renovation of the theater space, is an important investment in the Bayou road neighborhood. “We’ve built long-term partnerships with organizations like Southern rep Theatre, which will offer not only artistic and educational opportunities, but also will be an economic driver creating

OPEN HOUSE bar, which shuttered in 2011. “I really miss Le chat Noir, because that was a place you could go to any night of the week,” Hayes says. “You could see the show or not see the show, but you knew that there would be people there, and it felt like a place to be. I want to create a place that’s a home for all sorts of performances and people.” Besides its 125-seat main theater, Southern rep’s new space will include a Lagniappe Stage and Sanctuary Bar and the Hal Brown Outdoor community Stage. In addition to the mainstage productions, the theater will host staged readings, drag and comedy performances, new play development programs, afterschool programs, and a weekly “care for creatives” workshop to promote self-care for local artists and performers. GoodWood NOLA is using wood salvaged from the church’s interior to make a bar for the Lagniappe Stage and Sanctuary Bar. Hayes envisions a lounge environment with comfy furniture. The mainstage will be set up proscenium-style for A Doll’s House, Part 2, 2 but the flexible space allows for numerous stage and seating configurations. A row

job opportunities and bringing people to Bayou road to shop at the street’s businesses and enjoy its food and culture,” Leit said in an email. Southern rep’s partnership with the developers includes a long-term lease agreement with an option to purchase the building. The company currently is engaged in a $1.5 million capital campaign to outfit the interior of the former church, and a planned second phase of the campaign will raise money to purchase the building. Design for the space was devised in consultation with London-based theater design group charcoalblue. The development project sits among a cluster of businesses just off North Broad Street, including community Book Store, Domino Sound record Shack, coco Hut caribbean restaurant and one of the neighborhood’s few night spots, club caribbean. It’s several blocks from both the Joan Mitchell center, an artists-in-residence campus that’s grown since its inception in 2013, and the Fair Grounds race course & Slots. Describing her vision for the building, Hayes recalls the scene at the former Warehouse District’s Le chat Noir cabaret theater and

of catwalks provides access to a grid of rails and beams for hanging lights, mounting chain motors to move big set pieces and rigging harnesses to fly actors across the room. The space also has dressing rooms, offices and a choir loft, where an enormous pipe organ was relocated to make room for a rehearsal space underneath an elaborate stained glass window. Hayes acknowledges it has been daunting to get the building in “ship shape.” In her pre-Southern rep days, she lived on a 19-foot boat and still adheres to the notion that “everything needs to have a home.” “I have such a long to-do list, and so does everybody on the staff,” Hayes says. “But I have to admit, sometimes being in here, or closing up at night, being the last one here and standing in the middle of it, looking at this beauty that we’re surrounded by, I’m so grateful.” Playwright and former Loyola University professor rosary O’Neill opened Southern rep in 1986 to present plays by Southern playwrights and plays about the South. That mission refocused on producing new plays and regional and sometimes world premieres.

Southern rep Theatre Artistic Director Aimee Hayes is directing A Doll’s House, Part 2.

Hayes was hired as artistic director in 2007. Southern rep left its longtime home on the third floor of The Shops at canal Place in 2012, and it has had residencies at both the contemporary Arts center and, for the past two years, at Loyola University of New Orleans. It has produced works around the city. Hayes starred as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire staged in a former funeral home on elysian Fields Avenue, near the address where Tennessee Williams set the play. Southern rep presented Andrew Hinderaker’s football drama Colossal at UNO’s Performing Arts center and the prison redemption drama Song of a Man Coming Through at First Grace United Methodist church. With A Doll’s House, Part 2, Southern rep enters a housewarming period in advance of its official grand opening in January. In late November, the theater will open an original holiday show written by and starring Leslie castay called Mandatory Merriment. In January, it presents the regional premiere of Sarah DeLappe’s Wolves, a play about a girls’ soccer team that presents technical challenges in portraying the on-field action. A Doll’s House, Part 2 comes well-recommended by its success on Broadway, where it received eight Tony Award nominations and Laurie Metcalf won for Actress in a Leading role in a Play. Audiences don’t need to know the Ibsen play to appreciate Hnath’s. “No homework assign-

ments when you come to Southern rep,” Hayes says. But audiences familiar with the original work might recognize a few allusions. Hnath keeps the Victorian-era setting, but he gives the characters modern sensibi- lities as they navigate the balance between independence and obligation in romantic relationships. “I really like the idea of a cheeky, smart and sometimes irreverent sequel,” Hayes says. “I’m also really fascinated by families that are broken. How do you find forgiveness? How do you come back together as a family?” Between getting the play stage ready, getting the building finished for its first audiences and planning activities and events, Hayes is careful not to lose sight of the big picture. “I love that this is happening in New Orleans,” she says. “A New Orleans church that (was shuttered after) a long history is being repurposed into something that is welcoming to the community. I love that Southern rep is contributing something to the city’s heritage and cultural history.”

Manolito serves Cuban-inspired food and drinks BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund

CUBAN HISTORY IS RIFE with romance and mystery. The allure of Cuba’s cocktail culture can be traced to bars such as El Floridita, where Ernest Hemingway spent sweltering afternoons while a cantinero, or bartender, poured daiquiris. Manolito, a petite cocktail bar and restaurant tucked into a stretch of Dumaine Street in the French Quarter, pays homage to bars like El Floridita and its cantineros such as Manuel Carbajo Aguiar, a beloved figure at the establishment, who died last year. Key to a cantinero‘s job are hospitality and the ability to make a blended drink with calculated precision to ensure the slushy and refreshing cocktail is not too icy or overly sweet. Veteran bartenders Nick Detrich, Chris Hannah and Konrad Kantor have perfected the craft at Manolito, and their well-coiffed cocktails are tributes to their inspiration. The Papa Doble is inspired by one of Hemingway’s favorite drinks, a powerful blend of rum, maraschino liqueur and grapefruit. The excellent El Floridita daiquiri is a slushy mix of rum, lime juice and maraschino liqueur. Though cocktails are the bar’s raison d’etre, a carefully curated short menu complements the boozy offerings, many of which beg for something salty and substantive. One easily could spend an evening here enjoying a couple of daiquiris and marinated olives or the fried chickpeas, which are salty and crunchy with a mellow, smoky spice and hints of lemon and lime. Golden-fried croquetas are filled with ham and cheese and served with an herb sauce that falls somewhere

The classic version here has thick slices of ham, plenty of cheese, tangy yellow mustard and mojo-roasted pork with notes of cumin and citrus. Ropa vieja is a highlight, and as the only sizable entree, it’s served family style. The slow-cooked shredded beef is impossibly tender, juicy and full of warm spice. That stew also can be ordered as an appetizer atop arepas, griddled pale golden corn cakes that ooze with melted cheese. Pickled vegetables including carrots, bell peppers and cauliflower deliver a punch of brine and acidity, which balances the earthy and rich dish. For dessert, a coconut flan has an amber caramel top that imbues sweet, almost burnt toffee notes. It’s

photographer and writer Nik Sharma recently released his ﬁrst cookbook, Season: Big Flavors, Beautiful Food, which showcases the Indian home cooking featured on his award-winning blog A Brown Table (www.abrowntable.com). The Southern Food & Beverage Museum hosts a discussion and book signing with Sharma 2 p.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 6. Sharma also will participate in a collaborative dinner inspired by his book at Saffron NOLA at 7 p.m. Oct. 7. Sharma spoke to Gambit about his book and cooking.

Tell me a little bit of your background in cooking. SHARMA: When I lived in India, I wanted to go to cooking school. My mom was in hospitality management. She said, “I don’t think that’s for you because it’s hard work and I don’t see you being the type of person that can stand in a cold room peeling onions all day long.” coming from an Indian family, it’s also not considered the most stable career — you’re always told to find something like engineering, medicine or law. I wanted to cook, so I would sift through my mother’s cookbooks and magazines, and when I moved to America for graduate school, I started to cook because I was living on my own for the first time. (At the time) I had just come out (as gay) and my best friend from grad school is from New Orleans. When I came out, I was still trying to find acceptance within myself and her family was really supportive. I would come (to New Orleans) and it was a non-issue, which is exactly what you want when you come out. I would literally spend any vacation I could with her family in New Orleans. It is such a rich city when it comes to food and culture and it made me really appreciate how many similar influences from Africa and India were found in the food. The spices and the ingredients were similar, so I started paying attention to a lot of these things, and when I moved to Washington D.c., I started writing the blog. (Later) I got a job working at a startup taking pictures of food. … While looking for jobs, I ap-

proached my (now) editor at the (San Francisco) Chronicle, and they ended up asking me to write a recipe-based column for them.

How do you teach home cooks how to tackle Indian cuisine? S: I wanted (the book) to be part memoir but also a cookbook and something that’s useful to people. I wanted to tell my story: Why I moved to America; what it means to be gay; what it means to be an immigrant; and why I moved here, which was just to be myself and to be free. All those things have influenced and shaped the way I feel about food and the way I cook. I didn’t want it to be a bunch of recipes thrown at people with no context. I wanted it to be useful for a person who may cook something from the book and who might walk away having learned something. We did a visual spice glossary so people can identify ingredients and feel confident when they walk into a store. I also wanted to showcase my Indian heritage and culture. I’m mixed in terms of heritage and faith because my mother is from Goa, which used to be a Portuguese colony, and my dad is from the north. I wanted to draw in those influences as well as the influences from my husband’s family and the stuff that I’ve been exposed to here. You’ll see Goan recipes and you’ll have a little bit of North Indian (cooking). I don’t delve into the things that people are already very familiar with. I intentionally left out curries. Start simple. This is how I learned to cook. Start with something you like and move on. If you’re a person who likes hot food, look to chili peppers you’re not familiar with and start there. Kashmiri chili powder is probably the mildest. It’s got a sweet, smoky flavor and it’s mildly hot, but it’s also used in Indian cooking to give color. So build on

that, and if you want something hotter you can go for hotter chili peppers. For that, I usually use Thai chili peppers or serranos to add heat. If you want to start using whole-seed spices, start with cumin and coriander. Once you feel comfortable with that, move into nigella, which traditionally is used to create a nutty, aromatic ﬂavor. Just play and have fun. I say it’s OK to make a mistake. If the recipe doesn’t work, or the ﬂavor combination is not what you like, do it again and make it better. Make it your own.

What tips can you offer novice food photographers? S: Do and focus on what you really want to do, or what you want to convey. Don’t follow anyone — these days, everything is so social media based, determined by how many likes you get. That’s instant gratiﬁcation, and that’s ﬁne, but your work can be great, or good, even if you don’t get a single like. I think some of the people I admire most in the business in food writing and photography don’t have large followings. Those are the people that inspire me the most and probably because they don’t fall into the cookie cutter mold. — HeLeN FreUND

PREVIEW Father John Misty BY ALeX WOODWArD WITH 2018’S GOD’S FAVORITE CUSTOMER, Josh Tillman’s Father John Misty follows 2015’s acclaimed love letter I Love You, Honeybear and 2017’s double LP Pure Comedy, his evisceration of pop cultural homogeneity and hypernormalized absurdity, written before the ascendance of Donald Trump -era politics but arriving as an answer to it. But Customer is not a concept album — he’s endured the naked discomfort when faced with the selfishness of love, learned to live (or be happy to not) in bleaker times, then survived it all only to wrestle with the mental instability, debauched celebrity, egos and pursuit of vanity that made Father John Misty the exorcist for Josh Tillman in the first place. Tillman wrote the bulk of the album while living in a hotel for two months, his own Lost Weekend of unglamorous self-assessments and self-deprecation. It’s a slimmer volume compared to his previous diary entries, with Tillman’s pounding piano punching through a playful 40 minutes alongside bare-bones late-period Beatles-esque band arrangements. His voice and lyrics cut through the mix with more clarity and vulnerability — brutal honesty threaded with half-truths, fabrications and truths wrapped in air quotes. That honesty often arrives secondhand; first single “Mr. Tillman” is from the perspective of a hotel concierge politely listing why he’s the worst hotel guest, as Tillman complains about a film shoot on the hotel grounds that’s not happening; he thinks the guests are extras, revealing his paranoid delusions as antisocial tendencies in his hotel-dwelling crisis. He also returns to the tedium and imposterdom of being a “performer” (“Last night I wrote a poem. Man, I must’ve been in the poem zone,” he blithely sings on “The Palace”) and satirizes his own breakthrough — the album closes with “We’re Only People (And There’s Not Much Anyone can Do About That).” One of Tillman’s gifts as a songwriter for our increasingly dumb timeline is his deft ability to wrap that kind of cynicism and total sincerity into the same line. On Pure Comedy closer “In Twenty Years or So,” he acknowledges “this human experiment will reach its violent end” in his lifetime, “But I look at you / As our second drinks arrive / The piano player’s playing ‘This Must Be the Place’ / And it’s a miracle to be alive,” but it closes with a “There’s nothing to fear” coda, arriving more as a question each time. With “We’re Only People,” he closes saying that “the end of it all may look a lot like the beginning.” “So why not me? Why not you? Why not now?” The answers were in his head all along. Tickets $40. King Tuff opens at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Civic Theatre, 501 O’Keefe Ave.; www.civicnola.com.

PREVIEW Satchmo at the Waldorf BY WILL cOVIeLLO LOUIS ARMSTRONG WAS A PROLIFIC letter writer and he recorded many of this thoughts and conversations on reel-to-reel tapes. collages he made on the covers of the boxes that stored the tapes were displayed at the New Orleans Jazz Museum as part of the Prospect.4 art expo P H OTO B Y J A N e T W I L S O N that closed in February. Biographer Terry Teachout relied heav- Barry Shakaba Henley stars in Satchmo at the Waldorf. ily on Armstrong’s roughly 650 recordings in writing the 2009 book Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong. Teachout adapted material from the book to create the one-man show Satchmo at the Waldorf. Though he sang in appearances, Armstrong rarely played his trumpet publicly in 1970 due to illness. But he returned to deliver some triumphant performances in 1971, including a March concert at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It would be his final concert (Armstrong died July 6, 1971). Teachout imagines Armstrong in his dressing room after that show. Looking back on his life, Armstrong recounts stories from his early days in New Orleans, where he ran errands for Storyville brothels and played his horn in street parades. He moved to chicago to perform with his mentor Joseph “King” Oliver’s band and later to New York, which became his longtime home. But the show is not a measured biography as much as Armstrong’s view of his life’s work. He recreates conversations with his longtime manager, Joe Glaser, who pushed him to reach wider audiences, and imagines debates with Miles Davis, who had accused Armstrong of “clowning” for white audiences. Barry Shabaka Henley performed the show in chicago, and here he’s directed by Le Petit Theatre Artistic Director Maxwell Williams. Tickets $10-$55. 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5-21. Le Petit Theatre, 616 St. Peter St., (504) 522-2081; www.lepetittheatre.com.

GOING OUT ART

REVIEW Past Present Future and Best Seat in the House BY D. erIc BOOKHArDT WHEN RUSSELL LORD’S MASSIVE book, Looking Again: Photography at the New Orleans Museum of Art, was released in P H OTO B Y r O M A N A LO K H I N March, many local art buffs were stunned by the scale and depth of a collection that had been seen only in little snips and snatches over the years. The book not only revealed that NOMA’s photography shows barely had touched the tip of the iceberg, but also that NOMA had been an art photography pioneer for more than a century. This Past Present Future: Building Photography at the New Orleans Museum of Art show revisits some of this forgotten history while providing a preview of the collection’s future, mingled with some colorful side trips along the way. In 1918, NOMA — then called the Delgado Museum of Art after its Jamaican-born founder Isaac Delgado — staged an art photography show featuring work by the luminaries of the day, and this exhibition includes a partial recreation of it. There are works by Alfred Stieglitz, Gertrude Kasebier, Laura Gilpin and edward Steichen, including his legendary study of sculptor Auguste rodin silhouetted next to his two most famous works, Le Penseur and Monument to Victor Hugo. This was heady stuff for a small museum, and viewing these works enables us to revisit the origins of photography’s vintage avant garde worldview. Another series, The Present, features recently acquired works, including robert Mapplethorpe’s portrait of his local mentor, George Dureau, and Joel Levinson’s dramatic 1979 photomontage, Fractions (pictured), which uses spliced TV images to predict the confusing, super-saturated digital media environment in which we find ourselves today. The Future includes some extraordinary promised works from major local photography collectors including Tina Freeman and Dr. russell Albright, among others whose generosity ensures that NOMA’s photography collection will remain among the finest in the nation. These works are complemented by a small expo featuring images by legendary New Orleans photojournalist and cameraman Dell Hall, whose emmy Award-winning efforts remind us why local TV news teams, which often covered national and international events, were for decades considered among America’s most dynamic and pioneering journalists.
