SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

P H OTO B Y J O S E A G U Z M A N C O LO N

‘Crowds’ pleaser

“The Color Purple” FRI.-SUN. OCT. 25-27 | The touring Broadway musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is about a young woman from Georgia who writes letters to God while struggling to overcome poverty and abuse.

At 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

BY WILL COVIELLO SOME PEOPLE GET TO MEET their rock

star idols, but few get to perform with them, or go on tour with them.

Drag performer Vinsantos, aka Vincent DeFonte, got that and the chance to walk down the aisle with his biggest influence as a teenager: Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.

“I was originally hired to do a 10day tour (opening for Bauhaus) from New Orleans to New York,” Vinsantos says. “After about five days, he looked at me and said, ‘You’re not going anywhere.’ ” That kept Vinsantos opening for Bauhaus for two months and across the country to San Francisco, where he grew up listening to the British band as a crossdressing goth teenager. Vinsantos performs original music, including songs he wrote for the tour, and recaps his adventures with Bauhaus in a show marking his 10th anniversary performing in New Orleans. “Undead” runs at Hotel Peter & Paul at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28.

Vinsantos is the subject of a forthcoming documentary (or “dragumentary”) by French filmmaker Coline Albert. Vinsantos told Albert it was his dream to perform in Paris, and when they ended up arranging such a trip for the film, Vinsantos made sure it coincided with a performance

by Bauhaus. Vinsantos knew drummer David J and was invited to the show and an afterparty, where he met Murphy. When he got back to New Orleans, Vinsantos received an invitation to tour with the band.

There was one catch. Vinsantos had told Murphy his favorite Bauhaus song was “Crowds,” which the band never played live. Murphy wanted him to play it at every show.

“I closed the set every night with their song,” Vinsantos says. “I developed a nonconsensual encore. I would play my set and thank everybody and say ‘The boss wants me to play a song, but I am nobody; I am just a little drag queen from New Orleans. I never had a real encore before.’ I would say that and storm off the stage with the idea that if the audience wants me back, they’re going to have to prove it to me.

Night after night, it would bring the house down.”

THU.-SAT. OCT. 24-26 | Friday is the official release day for the Soul Rebels’ first album in seven years, “Poetry in Motion,” featuring contributions from Big Freedia, Tarriona “Tank” Ball, Robert Glasper, Branford Marsalis, PJ Morton, Troy Andrews and others. The band performs Thursday at Le Bon Temps Roule, Friday at Louisiana Music Factory and Saturday at Peaches Records.

Leyla McCalla FRI. OCT. 25 | Multi-instrumentalist and former member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops Leyla McCalla released “The Capitalist Blues” in January. She is joined by a host of contributors to the album, including producer Jimmy Horn, Topsy Chapman & Solid Harmony and Haitian drummer Damas “Fanfan” Louis. At 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at Music Box Village.

“November”

The enthusiasm for that stunt caught Murphy’s attention, and they began performing the song together.

“By the time we got to Chicago, we were playing in this giant cathedral, the Rockefeller Memorial (Chapel),” Vinsantos says. “At end of the Chicago run, I approached the stage at the end of their set. [Murphy] pulled me up. I took him arm-in-arm. He thought we were going to go backstage. I said, ‘No, girl, we’re walking down the aisle together.’ ” Vinsantos says the crowd parted like the Red Sea as they exited.

At the “Undead” show, Vinsantos will share some stories about his time with Murphy and Bauhaus. He’ll also review his work in New Orleans, where he performs, founded and runs the New Orleans Drag Workshop and runs Galerie Vinsantos, which exhibits dolls he makes.

Vinsantos began doing drag as performance art in San Francisco and was a core member of Trannyshack (since renamed because the term now is considered a slur), which ran for a dozen years. He was named Miss Trannyshack 2000.

“This was all before Dragula and before drag was on TV and mainstream,” he says.

OCT. 28 VINSANTOS: “LIVING WITH THE UNDEAD” 7 P.M. MONDAY THE CHURCH AT HOTEL PETER & PAUL, 2317 BURGUNDY ST.; WWW.GALERIEVINSANTOS.COM

FRI.-SUN. OCT. 25-NOV. 10 | Bob Edes Jr. gets another run in the Oval Office in David Mamet’s foul-mouthed election drama. Complete with jokes about immigrants, fences and illegal activities, the show debuted on Broadway in 2008, and Edes starred in a production here in 2010. At 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.

Oh Sees When he arrived in New Orleans, Vinsantos didn’t think he fit the local pageant and “top 40 queen” scene.

He worked with Bella Blue in the burlesque world, often serving as a host. Four years ago, he started the Miss Pageant Pageant, both as a parody of the local scene and as a show concept, he says.

“These were grown men acting like they were on ‘Toddlers & Tiaras,” he says.

His drag workshop has helped launch many local drag performers, and its “draguation” presentation is an entertaining show.

The tour energized him, Vinsantos says, and he’s working on new goals and a longtime one, opening his own cabaret in the French Quarter.

FRI. OCT. 25 | Despite changes to its name, lineup and hometown, guitarist and vocalist John Dwyer’s alt rock band has had a prolific run, releasing more than 20 albums, including August’s “Face Stabber.” Prettiest Eyes opens at 10 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

The Melvins and Redd Kross SAT. OCT. 26 | Washington State’s sludgy, pre-grunge outfit The Melvins might not seem like it has much in common with Los Angeles alt-rock band Redd Kross, but on this tour, Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Redd Kross bassist Steven McDonald perform with both bands. Toshi Kasai opens at 10 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Downtown New Orleans businesses quickly swung into

action after the collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel construction site, setting up coffee, water and food stations to assist first responders and family members at the scene. Among the many restaurants that stepped up to help were the Ruby Slipper Cafe, GW Fins and Deanie’s Seafood.

Rouses Markets also sent a truck of supplies and food.

‘MARCH AGAINST DEATH ALLEY’ ORGANIZED

BY LOUISIANA CLIMATE ACTIVISTS CONCERNED RESIDENTS IN THE AREA along the Mississippi River

Patrick Dejean, a former

Jefferson Parish Justice of the Peace, was sentenced to three years in federal prison and ordered to pay restitution of more than $73,000 after being convicted of 13 counts of mail fraud and three counts of making false statements to a bank. Dejean diverted cash from a justice court bank account for his own use and garnished defendants’ wages improperly. He was sentenced

by U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon Oct. 10.

Greg Longino, a deputy

chief of the St. Tammany Parish sheriff’s office, was fired after being arrested for suspicion of drunk driving on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. According to a police report, Longino was clocked at 93 mph before accelerating to more than 100 mph. He was booked into the St. Tammany jail, and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith fired him one day after the incident.

between New Orleans and Baton Rouge — dubbed “Cancer Alley” or “Death Alley” due to its proximity to more than 100 petrochemical plants and refineries — are leading a two-week protest by bus and foot, demanding no new petrochemical projects be built in the River Parishes.

Local environmental justice activists are planning the “March Against Death Alley” to span from New Orleans to Baton Rouge with events that began Oct. 15 and end Oct. 30.

One of the projects marchers will rally against is a $9.4 billion Formosa Petrochemical Corp. plastics plant in St. James Parish, which activists say could nearly double the area’s current emission levels of toxic chemicals.

Other demands from organizers include a ban on industrial emissions within 5 miles of public spaces, health care coverage for residents exposed to pollution and an end to the industrial tax exemption program that offers companies large tax breaks to attract them to Louisiana.

They also call for the Denka Performance Elastomer plant to curb its productions to stay under the levels recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The plant produces chloroprene, which the EPA classifies as a carcinogen. Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration announced in August that it would conduct a study to determine if people living around the Denka plant had higher rates of cancer than other places in the state.

“Today we give thanks to the Lord for our new #Saints.

Me-YOW: Feeding neighborhood cats in Westwego could earn you a $500 fine For Westwego residents, feeding a stray cat in your neighborhood could result in a city-imposed fine, should that feline be deemed “a nuisance” to neighbors.

In response to ongoing concerns and complaints about an abundance of stray cats in the city, the five-member Westwego City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Oct. 14 that will bar people from feeding strays within the city limits. At the meeting, Westwego Mayor Joe Peoples said complaints about stray cats were one of the top reasons residents called his office. About 20 people spoke against the law at the PAGE 8

meeting and a few in support of it.

The ordinance, which Peoples signed Tuesday, also states that people feeding stray cats are responsible for the cats’ behavior, including “urinating and defecating on porches or property, digging and defecating in landscaping, sitting on vehicles or causing any nuisance on a neighboring property.”

The only exception to the ordinance would be people working with the Jefferson Parish Animal Control Board, using a tactic for reducing stray cat populations known as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) — feeding the stray cats in order to capture them and get them neutered.

The ordinance does not lay out the penalty for each offense or the amount of the fines, but the mayor said at the meeting Tuesday that the City of Westwego Department of Code Enforcement will give the person a warning. Should problems persist over time, the city will issue a citation and order the person to appear in court and potentially face fines up to $500 per offense, according to the section of city code cited in the law.

Jeff Dorson, director of the Louisiana Humane Society, told Gambit the ordinance is “regressive rather than progressive.” He has been a vocal opponent of the feeding ban and said the only proven method of reducing the stray cat population long term is TNR. The Best Friends Animal Society, a Utah organization, came to Westwego last year to start a community cat program. The program has multiple vets offering free or low-cost spay and neuter services and community outreach, and it remediates conflicts over stray cats. Dorson said these existing efforts are working to get cats neutered. “Any time you have free or low-cost services, people take advantage of that,” he said.

Councilwoman Lisa Valence said she voted for the ordinance because she felt it was a fair compromise between those feeding strays and their agitated neighbors. “I supported the amended ordinance that requires people who feed feral cats follow the [TNR] policy to promote a healthy cat life, but I also support the neighbors who cope with colonies of cats passing through yards,” she said in a statement. “We needed to listen to both sides and make compromises, which I think we did.”

Dorson said he expects the legislation to be challenged in court “on multiple levels” and that the Louisiana Humane Society likely will defend anyone cited under the ordinance.

“We believe that this ordinance unjustifiably singles out cat caregivers and subjects them to harsh penalties if found guilty of violating any of the ordinance’s provisions,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “We will soon meet with legal counsel to develop one

or more challenges to these regulations.” — KAYLEE POCHE

Convention Center authority seeks public input on hotel project Officials with the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center are seeking public input on its plans to build a highrise hotel attached to the convention center at a meeting Monday, Oct. 21.

The proposed Omni Hotel would include 1,200 rooms. The $558 million hotel is part of a larger improvement plan to renovate the convention center and create a pedestrian park, which currently is being built.

The hotel sparked criticism when officials sought tens of millions in tax dollars to fund the project.

Proponents of the project point to a consultant’s estimate that the hotel would generate a $282 million economic impact annually for the city and create 1,900 jobs.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in room 220 on the second floor of the convention center. — KAYLEE POCHE

Next gubernatorial debate set for Oct. 30 Two days after the Louisiana primary election forced him into a runoff, Gov. John Bel Edwards said he accepted an invitation to a statewide televised debate hosted by Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) and Council For a Better Louisiana at the end of the month, the first planned debate in the gubernatorial runoff.

It was not immediately clear if his Republican challenger, businessman and political mega-donor Eddie Rispone, plans to accept the invitation.

The debate is slated for 7 p.m. Oct. 30, LPB President Beth Courtney said, and will take place at the LPB studios in Baton Rouge. That would put the debate just ahead of the early voting period beginning Nov. 2.

Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, faced off with Rispone and the third-place finisher, Congressman Ralph Abraham, in three televised primary debates, including one hosted by LPB. “I look forward to debating Eddie Rispone on the issues and discussing the hard, bipartisan work we did to put Louisiana first, investing in education and job creation,” Edwards said in a statement. “Eddie Rispone has no vision for Louisiana.

He just wants to bring back the failed policies of Bobby Jindal that put our state in a ditch and left working people without health care.”

The runoff election is Nov. 16.

Edwards didn’t win the election outright in the open primary Saturday, garnering about 47% of the vote. Rispone edged out Abraham by a 27% to 24% margin. — SAM KARLIN | THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE

COMMENTARY

WHILE THE GREAT DEBATES OF 1858 —

between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas — have become a part of American history and lore, the role of presidential debates in campaign years was a fairly unimportant one until the dawn of television and the 1960 debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon.

CLANCY DUBOS @clancygambit

The governor’s race — looking back, and looking ahead THE TRUEST THING I CAN SAY

about the Nov. 16 gubernatorial runoff is something I learned decades ago from the late Jim Carvin, one of the seminal media consultants in Louisiana: “Every election is a unique event.”

Carvin wasn’t saying it’s a waste of time to look at past performances. They often are quite instructive. But, as investment brochures state in the fine print, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. So, what can we take from the Oct. 12 primary, and what should we expect between now and Nov. 16?

Let’s begin with the primary results for governor — and a comparison to previous statewide elections. I have to focus on John Bel Edwards’ performance for this part because his runoff opponent, Baton Rouge businessman and GOP

mega-donor Eddie Rispone, has no electoral track record.

Edwards’ turnout effort sucked. This has to be the No. 1 takeaway for Team JBE. Statewide, voter turnout was just over 45 percent, but in vote-rich New Orleans — where Edwards got 87% of the vote (same percentage he got against David Vitter in the 2015 runoff) — voter turnout was a meager 38.5%. If he can’t get New Orleans to approximate the statewide turnout on Nov. 16 (with several hotly contested legislative runoffs and some controversial tax propositions on the city’s ballot), he won’t win.

Coincidentally, black voter turnout statewide also was 38% — sharply below the white turnout of 49.8%. That’s almost a 12-point difference.

Black turnout typically trails

white turnout, more so in primaries than runoffs, but not often by this much in a race for governor.Put another way, black voters comprise 31.4% of the Louisiana electorate, but in the primary they cast only 26.4% of the total votes.

Whites comprise 63.4% of the electorate, yet they cast 70.7% of the primary ballots.

These figures come from Greg Rigamer, one the best number crunchers in Louisiana. (Disclosure: Rigamer and I worked on the WWL-TV election night analysis team with pollster Ron Faucheux.)

Now let’s look at the Republicans’ turnout efforts.

The state GOP convinced more than 163,000 chronic white (read: conservative) voters who did not show up in the November 2015 runoff (between Edwards and David Vitter) to vote in this year’s

primary. We’re talking serious Donald Trump voters. Chances are they’ll show up again on Nov. 16.

Worst of all for Edwards, he got about 21,000 fewer votes on Oct. 12 than he got in the 2015 runoff. I’ll say it again: Edwards’ turnout effort sucked.

The good news for Edwards, if there’s any to be had, is there’s lots of room for improvement in minority voter turnout. In fact, history strongly suggests that it can and will increase in the runoff as a share of overall votes cast.

He also should get most of the 32,000 votes that went to the three minor candidates, considering one was a black Democrat and another was named Landrieu.

Assuming Republicans show up on Nov. 16 in numbers roughly similar (or even slightly higher) than on Oct. 12, Edwards needs to motivate an additional 50,000 — or more — minority voters to cast ballots for him just to get it close. He’ll also need to get more white votes.

Edwards improved among

metro New Orleans whites, trailed among rural whites.

Overall, Edwards’ percentage (but not his raw vote total) of the white vote tumbled compared to 2015, but in metro New Orleans he held or improved his share of the white vote. This is particularly true in Jefferson Parish.

In New Orleans, Edwards got 87% of the total vote on Oct. 12 — the same percentage he got in the 2015 runoff.

Whites comprise 35.6% of the New Orleans electorate (and even more of the votes actually cast), which means Edwards got the vast majority of the white vote in Orleans Parish on Oct. 12.

Eddie Rispone (left) and John Bel Edwards (right)

wasn’t president in 2015, and David Vitter isn’t Edwards’ opponent in 2019. Edwards needs to seriously boost his get out the vote efforts in New Orleans and among minority voters, and he needs to get a share of Ralph Abraham’s primary vote.

Abraham’s voters will decide the runoff. Ralph Abraham got just over 317,000 votes in the primary — after Eddie Rispone ripped him in

ads and in debates. Interestingly, Edwards beat Abraham in all six congressional districts, including Abraham’s (by 2,000 votes).

Abraham immediately endorsed Rispone in his concession speech, but it remains to be seen if he’ll actively campaign for him. That could make a difference.

Meanwhile, it’s a safe bet that Abraham’s voters are more moderate, as a group,

than Rispone’s. Edwards sure better hope they are — and that roughly 15% of them (around 50,000) will vote for him in the runoff. In theory that’s doable, but it’s not at all predictable. A lot will happen between now and Nov. 16.

“Trump-Trump-Trump” vs.

“Jindal-Jindal-Jindal.” When it comes to messaging (other than the attacks), Edwards and Rispone will be talking past one another. Rispone’s first runoff TV ads feature Donald Trump, not Eddie Rispone.

Edwards will continue to say this race is more about Washington, Louisiana (yes, it’s a town in St. Landry Parish) than Washington, D.C. — and that Rispone will put Louisiana “back in the ditch” where Jindal left Louisiana.

In broader terms, the GOP will continue trying to nationalize this race, while

Edwards hopes to keep voters focused on local issues. In the past, Louisiana voters have consistently decided gubernatorial elections using a local paradigm, but that could be changing. The runoff results will tell the tale.

Debates, anyone? Edwards will push for as many debates as possible, hoping to draw a contrast between his inside knowledge of state government and the potential dangers of electing an “outsider” who could disrupt critical services and gut popular programs. As of this writing, Edwards had agreed to the first proposed debate — and Rispone was trying to negotiate terms.

Incoming! Incoming! If you think you saw a lot of “independent” political action committee attack ads in the primary, brace for impact.

You’ll see a lot more between now and Nov. 16. The only sure winners will be media outlets and direct-mail print shops.

Buckle up. Early voting starts Saturday, Nov. 2.

more votes cast this time.

That’s important, because St. Tammany’s runoffs for sheriff and parish president will drive turnout on Nov. 16.

Now for the bad news: Edwards’ percentage of the white vote outside metro New Orleans tanked this year — but it’s not because whites who voted for him in 2015 turned against him in large numbers.

They didn’t. Remember, he got almost the same total vote on Oct. 12 as he got in the 2015 runoff. The difference this year is that nearly 163,000 chronic white voters — who didn’t vote in the 2015 runoff — showed up this time and voted Republican.

In terms of raw numbers, Edwards appears to have held his white vote in rural parishes, but the universe of white rural voters grew back to “normal” numbers. Put another way, if those 163,000 whites had showed up in November 2015 and voted Republican, David Vitter would be governor today. (Edwards beat Vitter by 141,000 votes.)

Bottom Line: Donald Trump

Hey Blake,

P H OTO B Y D E N N Y C U L B ER T

Whatever happened to the old mahogany bar from Bruning’s Restaurant? I heard it was stored away after the restaurant was destroyed.

— CATHY

Dear Cathy,

Bruning’s was a landmark restaurant on Lake Pontchartrain at West End Park for nearly 150 years. Founded

by Theodore Bruning in 1859, it was among the first of many seafood restaurants to open in West End Park during that area’s heyday as a lakefront resort. Bruning’s became a popular spot for seafood of all varieties, including its signature stuffed flounder.

The restaurant’s lakefront location put it in danger from weather events, and it was damaged several times by hurricanes and flooding. With that in mind, in the 1990s, members of the Urrate family, descendants of Theodore Bruning who owned the restaurant, purchased another building on the land in front of Bruning’s.

It was a wise move, since Hurricane Georges in 1998 destroyed the origi-

The mahogany bar where guests were served at Bruning’s Restaurant has been refurbished and installed at Toups South restaurant in Central City.

nal restaurant. Bruning’s reopened in its new building soon after Hurricane Georges, but its antique wooden bar was too big to fit into the new restaurant. The owners dismantled the bar and put it in storage.

After Hurricane Katrina dealt a fatal blow to Bruning’s second location, the family decided to donate the bar to the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. Museum founder Liz Williams said her staff received the bar in 171 pieces and reconstructed it using a historical photo. “It was a 3-D puzzle,” Williams told Gambit. In 2008, the bar, which also had suffered Katrina flood damage even though it was in storage, went on display at the museum’s original home in the Riverwalk.

When the museum moved to its current home at 1504 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. in 2014, the bar was refurbished. It is now used as the bar for Toups South restaurant, which is located inside the museum. “We are proud to have it,” Williams said.

BLAKEVIEW TWENTY YEARS AGO THIS MONTH , Harrah’s New Orleans Casino opened its doors, capping off a nearly decade-long effort to bring a land-based casino to the city. The casino opened to the public Oct. 28, 1999.

“We had some long days and some long nights, but we finally got here,” Mayor Marc Morial said in The Times-Picayune. “Like a phoenix, this project has risen after being written off by so many.”

The Louisiana Legislature approved a land-based casino in 1992, and in 1995 Harrah’s opened a temporary casino in the Municipal Auditorium. It closed after six months, and the project spent three years in bankruptcy reorganization.

The $381 million casino at the foot of Canal Street was designed by Perez Ernst Farnet Architects. Its pediment features friezes by artists Robert Warrens and George Dureau. The building sits on the site of the former Rivergate convention center, which was demolished.

Free concerts during opening weekend featured Fats Domino, Pete Fountain, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, Dr. John, Deacon John, Aaron Neville and Irma Thomas. The casino generated $250 million in revenue during its first year, which fell short of projections. It filed for bankruptcy in January 2001. To help revive the casino, state lawmakers voted to reduce Harrah’s minimum tax liability and loosened restrictions that prohibited the casino from operating a hotel and restaurant.

SPONSORED CONTENT PELICANS VS. TRAILBLAZERS, 2018

Celebrates 20 Years as the King of Live Entertainment in New Orleans Since opening its doors for business in October 1999, the Smoothie King Center quickly established itself as the number one entertainment and sports venue in the region. It has hosted many of the world’s largest concert acts, sporting events, and family shows as well as numerous convention sessions and special events.

On October 29, 1999, the arena presented its first event – the New Orleans Brass vs. Baton Rouge King Fish hockey game. A few days later, on November 5, ZZ Top played the first concert and immediately created a new standard for concert experiences in New Orleans. Over the past 20 years the arena has played host to over 500 entertain-

ment events which have sold over 13.6 million tickets.

Professional basketball returned to New Orleans in 2002, with the arrival of the New Orleans Hornets. Further bolstering New Orleans reputation as a great host of major events, the arena has also showcased three NBA All-Star Games and two NCAA Women’s Final Fours.

Twenty years after its opening, the Smoothie King Center is truly better than ever and stands ready and able to host major events that will enhance the venue’s rich history. ASM Global General Manager Alan Freeman observes “The Smoothie King Center continues to be consistently ranked as a Top 50 arena in the U.S.

for touring attractions. This is not only a testament to the dedicated staff we have on the ASM Global team, but also reflective of the vibrant New Orleans market, which attracts visitors from across the entire region.”

Event numbers at the Smoothie King Center are the highest since opening, hosting on average over 30 major ticketed shows (not including Pelicans Games and private events) each year. Artists like Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder, Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Bruno Mars and Fleetwood Mac have performed for thousands on the Smoothie King Center stage.

The future of the Smoothie King Center is strong and exciting.

The building is a must play for all major touring events as well as such sporting events as the Southeastern Conference Gymnastics Championships, the Sun Belt Conference Basketball Championships, and the 2020 NCAA Women’s Final Four scheduled in April of 2020.

As part of the ASM Global managed New Orleans Sports and Entertainment Complex, the Smoothie King Center continues to provide unforgettable experiences for fans of all ages and entertainment choices, while sustaining its role as an economic engine for New Orleans and all of Louisiana. The Smoothie King Center is well positioned to continue its reign as the “King” for years to come.

The Legend of

Sleepy Hollow BY WILL COVIELLO

IN AMERICAN FOLKLORE, THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN IS A HESSIAN SOLDIER WHO WAS DECAPITATED IN A REVOLUTIONARY WAR battle whose body returned at Halloween — near the time of the battle — to search for his head. Washington Irving’s short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” is one account of the haunting tale. The NOLA Project is launching its own version, based on that story and several other short works by Irving, which runs in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden through Nov. 10.

The NOLA Project has delved into swashbuckling action in original versions of “The Three Musketeers” and “Don Quixote” in the garden. Both works were written by company member Pete McElligott, who also has furnished this comedic horror.

The show is directed by Leslie Claverie, who starred as ax murderer Lizzie Borden in the musical “Lizzie” and as a terrorist in a chain restaurant hostage crisis in The NOLA Project’s “Stockholm Syndrome.” There are chases, near misses and some “blood rocketing through the air” gags, she says, but it’s still family friendly (the company does not recommend the show for children under 10). 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 23 (plus Oct. 30-31, Nov. 3, Nov. 6-8 and Nov. 10). Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, 1 Collins C. Diboll Circle, (504) 302-9117; www. nolaproject.com. Tickets $15-$35.

Opening of Day of the Dead in Mexico The Mexican Cultural Institute and the Consulate of Mexico in New Orleans are hosting the opening reception for a photo exhibition that expores the Day of the Dead and the Mexican relationship with death.

MATTIEL

BY NATHAN MATTISE

FROM R.E.M. TO DEERHUNTER — WITH CULT FAVORITES LIKE PYLON IN BETWEEN — Georgia has a lineage of genre-blending alt rock. The most interesting current tradition bearer may be Mattiel (pronounced maa-teel), the eponymous band led by singer Mattiel Brown.

The band literally shares some DNA with fellow Atlanta rockers the Black Lips; guitarist Jonah Swilley’s older brother is a longtime member of those Southern punk rock provocateurs. So it makes sense that some of that sonic sensibility would seep into Mattiel, too. On tracks like “Bye Bye” from Mattiel’s debut or “Blisters” from the band’s latest album, “Satis Factory,” tempos creep upward as some Americana finger-picking, rollicking piano and shoutable choruses keep pace with a pulsing drum beat.

Mattiel has more in store for listeners. The band leans into ’60s-era rock (Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Mamas

and the Papas) with walking bass lines and familiar bluesy chords on songs like “Rescue You.” And there’s French lyrics in “Je Ne Me Connais Pas,” but it resembles early aughts indie rock from bands like The White Stripes or Franz Ferdinand.

“I grew up watching all those guys [in the Black Lips] play, and I come from that wheelhouse for performance,” Swilley says. “But Mattiel’s singing style is unique — I can’t really pinpoint it, she does her own thing in a cool way. She’s has a lot of energy.”

The band’s comfort slipping between styles stems from Brown, whose voice instantly commands attention through its power and versatility. She can sound Nico-esque at one moment like on the Velvet Underground-y “Keep the Change,” wail with the best of them on rock balladlike “Millionaire” and “Athlete,” or lean into deep speak-singing post-punk on the biting “Food For Thought” (with its chorus of “What’s food for thought when all you’ve got is something to regurgitate?”).

All of that happens within a

P H OTO B Y A N N E M AC C L U S K E Y

few tracks on, “Satis Factory.”

It may be Mattiel’s second fulllength album (following 2017’s self-titled debut), but it shows the group has grown quickly — evolving its initial sound without abandoning the more traditional soul and blues core that first landed it on critics’ and fans’ radar.

“For the first record, we were going for a stripped-down kind of [Quentin] Tarantino sound,” Swilley says. “On this record, we used a full drum kit, added new instruments and pulled from influences we hadn’t on the first record, like The Clash or Velvet

Underground, stuff we hadn’t explored. I think we strayed away from the soul, the kind of thing we did on the self-titled record, and made a more advanced version of our sound.”

The members met barely two years before the release of “Mattiel,” but Brown, Swilley and the group have since opened for Jack White on tour, toured Europe and landed a spot on the BBC’s “Later… With Jools Holland.” Swilley says the band’s growth feels obvious whenever it takes the stage, with fans ready to shout even the newest lyrics back at the band. “When PAGE 21

touring the first record, we were trying to prove ourselves from a live standpoint and prove the songs we were playing,” he says. “Now it’s an experience we’re having with the audience.

Most of the time they’re familiar with the new tunes as well, especially overseas.”

After going from playing in bars around Atlanta to festival stages in Barcelona within six months of the first record’s release, Swilley calls the Mattiel experience “dreamlike.” But as Voodoo Festival attendees likely will see, Mattiel works on a

different wavelength than a lot of its peers.

“Being in this group and seeing how well it’s done in a short amount of time is crazy,” Swilley says. “When I met Mattiel, I knew she had something special. She was new to the songwriting process and just breaking into her artistry as a musician, but she was already really skilled as a vocalist and lyricist. I was blown away by her ability to write a song with us as quickly as she could. At that point I knew it was a different experience.”

BRAN D I CARLI LE

6 p.m. Friday / Altar Stage Fresh off collecting a Best Americana Album Grammy for her poignantly beautiful 2018 release “By the Way, I Forgive You,” Brandi Carlile co-formed The Highwomen with pop-country star Maren Morris, songwriter Natalie Hemby and fiddler Amanda Shires. The band is a natural progression of Carlile’s unorthodox musical path in a career over which she appears to have full control.

The rural Washington state native is in many ways an unexpected star: Her songs are ornately crafted yet defy easy categorization; her melodies are lovely but skirt the conventions of crossover artists. “By the Way, I Forgive You” features the lead single “The Joke,” a piano- and strings-driven ballad about under-representation and marginalization. (It was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammys.) Prior to “The Joke,” her most popular single was “The Story,” written

by Phil Hanseroth for her 2007

album of the same name. “The Story” features what now are considered hallmarks of Carlile’s songwriting: slow-building vocal crescendos, intricate melodic work and heartrending lyrics.

The song was featured on the TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” and was covered by everyone from LeAnn Rimes to Dolly Parton.

Carlile is vocal about her humanitarian activism and her efforts to help create more time for women on country music radio and space in the music industry in general. In recent years, Carlile has also become known as a producer, especially for her recent work with Tanya Tucker on the album, “While I’m Livin’,” which she performed live with Tucker at Loretta Lynn’s 87th birthday concert this year.

Guns N’ Roses perform at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2016

GU NS N’ ROSES

8 p.m. Friday / Altar Stage Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 debut “Appetite for Destruction” is one of the best-selling albums of all time. Axl Rose’s impressive vocal range and Slash’s blistering guitarwork helped move rock past glam and put the band on top of the hard rock world. It was a difficult album to match, but the band put out “G N’ R Lies” the following year.

In retrospect, it didn’t take too long for the band to release “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II,” but both had a hard time living up to the band’s hype and were over-burdened with gimmickry, including their release as separate albums on the same day. Over the years since, the band was best at producing drama, as Slash departed and the lineup featured a slew of temporary members; it was 15 years before the next album, “Chinese Democracy.” In 2016, Rose, Slash and fellow original member Duff McKagan and longtime keyboardist Dizzy Reed were reunited at a show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and the band has toured the globe since.

Setlists still feature a steady diet of “Appetite for Destruction” hits, including “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child o’ Mine and “Paradise City.” With three hours blocked out at Voodoo, the band should have plenty of time to hit all of its highlights. — WILL COVIELLO

Saturday, Oct. 26 JAPANESE BREAKFAST

6:30 p.m. Saturday /South Course Michelle Zauner performed

with a couple of East Coast indie pop bands before returning to her native Eugene, Oregon because of her mother’s illness.

She’s working on a memoir about the loss of her mother at an early age and growing up Korean American. She launched her solo career as Japanese Breakfast and released a 2016 debut “Psychopomp,” marked by traces of grief and melancholy. A more upbeat and well-received studio album, “Soft Sounds from Another Planet,” followed in 2017. She more recently released a dreamy cover of British new wave pop band Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels.” Zauner has performed in New Orleans and hosted DJ sets.

— WILL COVIELLO

7:30 p.m. Saturday / Altar Stage The National built a following on the basis of its early albums: “The National” (2001), “Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers” (2003) and “Alligator” (2005). These records featured songwriting that was impossibly catchy, well-crafted and as compelling in whiskey-soaked barrooms as in sedate solo listening. Songs featured brutally honest, funny/ tragic lyrics, often about being simultaneously self-absorbed and self-loathing, pining for doomed love and learning how to be an adult.

Matt Berninger (vocals), Aaron Dessner (guitar, piano), Scott Devendorf (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drummer) formed the band, originally inspired by Pavement, but the Cincinnati group quickly fell into its own rhythm and sound. The members had left their day jobs by the time “Alligator” was released, and by the mid-2010s, they had won a Grammy Award and were creating art installations at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The group weathered backlash and accusations of selling out as subsequent albums found wider audience, and it has enjoyed broader freedom to experiment with its sound and style in recent years. After 2007’s “Boxer,” The National changed stylistic course with “High Violet” (2010) and never looked back, dragging its hesitant but faithful audience with it. With 2019’s much-anticipated “I Am Easy to Find,” Berninger takes a backseat to a cast of female vocalists (Mina Tindle, Gail Ann Dorsey and Sharon Van Etten, among others) who PAGE 28

The similarities to Arcade Fire are a little too numerous (including The National’s humanitarian work and support of Dr. Paul Farmer’s Partners in Health organization), but “I Am Easy to Find” still features glimpses of the band at its earliest and most-beloved era.

Sunday, Oct. 27 PET FAN GS

3:45 p.m. Sunday / House of Blues Brothers Joe and David Stark were familiar faces on local festival stages as the guitar-driven punk rock-inspired band Baby Bee, a band that signed to Universal Music Group’s Republic Records. But after a couple of years trying to find a place with the label, the two decided to move on to other projects. Together with bassist Jory Cordy and Ben Alleman, they also expanded their musical palette — in a direction perfectly suited to Voodoo Fest’s embrace of electronic music. As Pet Fangs, the group has added psychedelic indulgences and synthesizer-driven electronic sounds and done more in the studio, such as the vocal tricks on the hiphop-esque “Problemz.” The band evolved its sound and released videos for songs as it went, starting almost three years ago. The band released a debut album, “Ultra Deluxe” in August. Quirky, playful tunes like “Barbarella,” inspired by the 1960s science fiction space adventure featuring Jane Fonda, are a far cry from the raw guitarwork of Baby Bee. Pet Fang’s members split time working with other bands, including those of Marc Broussard and Jenny Lewis, so it has only played a few local shows since the album’s release. — WILL COVIELLO

SERATONES

BY NATHAN MATTISE

P H OTO B Y DY L A N G L A S G O W- G U I C E

MANY MUSIC FANS IN NEW ORLEANS ALREADY KNOW SERATONES. THE SHREVEPORT NATIVES WON THE LOUISIANA MUSIC PRIZE IN 2013, and the band’s brand of swamp punk landed on the national music radar with 2016’s “Get Gone,” an album filled with what became the band’s signature tight, propulsive rock. Seratones have toured regionally regularly for years, including a stop at the 2016 Voodoo Fest.

But not many people know these Seratones, at least not yet.

That’s because when it finally came time to write a follow-up to the band’s breakout record, lead singer A.J. Haynes and guitarist Connor Davis had creative differences and eventually Davis left.

Haynes and the new group went to work on “Power.”

“The first album is very much an approach from ‘first thought, best thought’ — it’s beat-esque, free verse,” Haynes says. “’Power’ is based around a lot: What is structure, and what do power structures mean? What is my power? And how do we redefine what power looks like in an era where we see people wielding power in ways that harm people and have real repercussions?

That’s the headiness behind this last record, because that’s where my head is all the time now.”

“Power,” released Aug. 23, bursts lyrically and musically

with new ideas. At first listen, Haynes’ reflection has translated into a more robust, wider range of sounds. On the title track, Seratones’ familiar fuzz remains, but the sound is amplified into power-pop territory a la Fitz and the Tantrums (right down to an irresistible, sing-along-ready chorus). “Heart Attack” starts with an electronica stadium-rock vibe listeners might expect from a band like Metric, drives forward with a slick rock bassline reminiscent of The Strokes and then shocks in a very vintage Seratones way: A frenetic drum solo brings the whole thing to a temporary halt, only fading away when a synth is ready to take over.

Whatever punk-ness the new album skipped sonically, it maintains Seratones’ familiar edge thanks to Haynes’ lyrics. “Power” finds the songwriter willing to be vulnerable about her own life while expressing the anger and anxiety many young people feel about some of the most pressing issues of today. Haynes explores depression on “Fear” and alludes to climate change on “Gotta Get To Know Ya.” She’s dedicated the album’s title track — with its chorus of Haynes wailing, “We take two steps forward, they take one step backward” as a choir chants “Power” — to Shreveport’s Hope Medical Group for Women, one of Louisiana’s only clinics provid-

2019

ing abortions.

“I hit 30 and was like, ‘Wait, what’s my life about? Who am I? What are my stories?’ ” Haynes says. “I realized my stories were valuable. The realities of navigating the world as a black woman, as a daughter of an immigrant, and as someone who worked in reproductive health — specifically counseling at an abortion clinic for 10 years — all these experiences matter. I hadn’t thought of them in that way until I started looking around and not seeing enough of these stories. Well, maybe I should talk about myself.”

Those messages come across clearly on “Power” largely because Haynes’ vocal prowess has always been at the center of Seratones’ music. She grew up singing different styles of music in church choirs, and early Seratones singles revealed she had more soul and R&B vocal flourishes than many punk frontwomen. On “Power,” Haynes unleashes her lush alto in ways she hadn’t before. The bluesy “Over You” has ample vocal slides, sharp staccato lines and a bridge filled with what’s almost a melodic yell. “Lie to My Face” almost feels like a throwback doo-wop tune, albeit with much edgier lyrics and vocal force.

For Voodoo attendees, a 2019 Seratones’ performance will be a different, more expansive one than what audiences got in years past.

“There’s still immediacy and intensity,” Haynes says. “That’s what makes Seratones Seratones — it’s that urgency.”

But even this early into touring with this new music, the singer sees a more diverse audience coming to shows. They’re ready to experience the same eye-opening, sound-expanding journey Haynes did when creating “Power.”

“I’ve found more people are singing the songs, which is awesome,” Haynes says. “I’m seeing a lot of different faces, and that’s important to me. [Seratones’ performances] are a more overall inclusive space. I have people in their 20s who are bringing their parents, saying, ‘You would like this, too.’ That makes it worth it to me. Ultimately, I’m trying to write songs I can play at my family reunion, because I want our shows to feel like a family reunion.”

Metairie’s Daiwa Sushi Bar & Japanese Cuisine highlights original dishes

Kanno, but there’s a new fish in the sea. Daiwa Sushi Bar & Japanese Cuisine is the second outpost of a Marrero restaurant that has built a devoted following since it opened in 2011. The new Daiwa is located at 4100 Veterans Memorial Blvd. in the second-floor space formerly occupied by World of Beer.

Like the former tenant, Daiwa serves beer (and wine, sake and whiskey), but its selection is focused on Japanese imports with labels extending far beyond the standard Sapporo and Asahi bottlings. Inside the main dining room, a graceful cypress bar serves as the sushi counter.

Daiwa’s menu is massive, and it’s illustrated with photos and icons highlighting popular selections. Servers offer personal recommendations and guidance through the array of choices, including daily specials, which they share via photos displayed on service iPads. Those dishes consist of fish flown in from Japan on a weekly basis.

The changing selection was consistently excellent and featured items not commonly found on local menus.

Given their provenance, these specials can be pricey — $12 each for Japanese tiger prawns and around $24 for five pieces of toro tataki. The toro dish was otherworldly, though, served with a smoky flourish beneath a glass dome, the flavorful tuna belly lightly torched to highlight its richness and texture. The hard-to-resist specials also included delicate halibut tempura with a yuzu drizzle as well as golden eye snapper.

From the regular menu, traditional favorites and twists on familiar ingredients are crowd-pleasers. A half

From the selection of hibachi rice and noodles, yaki udon with seafood paired thick, chewy noodles with savory shrimp and chunks of fish.

Among the many selections labeled as “Daiwa’s Creations,” grilled sushi Imperial was a standout, with heat elevating the sushi to new territory.

Sea salt white fish sashimi featured delicate slices of raw fish fanned on the plate like petals, perfectly accented by wasabi yuzu dressing, smelt roe, sea salt and green onions.

Pepper tuna with fresh wasabi is marked on the menu with a chili pepper icon warning. Though the tuna was fresh and perfectly seared, the wasabi spooned over the top was overpowering. It was the least appealing dish we ate.

tion of ingredients. The best was the Lemon Magic, which features tempura-fried shrimp with “dynamite mix” (chopped tuna, salmon, white fish and spicy sauce) and a topping of scallops, tempura flakes and thin-cut lemon slices that made for deliciously tart bites.

Dessert selections include various flavors of ice cream as well as cheesecake tempura and tempurafried bananas. Ramune brand Japanese marble pop sodas offered a tasty nonalcoholic option, particularly the lychee flavor.

Daiwa in Metairie serves some of the best, and most original, sushi and Japanese fare in the area.

Fit book AFTER SIX YEARS OF HELPING RESTAURANTS develop healthier

dishes via Ochsner Fitness Center’s Eat Fit program, nutritionist Molly Kimball has released an Eat Fit cookbook.

Kimball and her team work with restaurants to create dishes that are creative, tasty and healthy.

“Eat Fit food doesn’t have to be simple or boring,” Kimball says.

“It can still have sauces and other things on it to add complexity.”

Eat Fit has nutritional criteria of less than 600 calories for a dinner entree and thresholds for sodium, fats, added sugar and more. There also are breakdowns for breakfast, snacks, juices, smoothies and kids’ meals.

The Ochsner Eat Fit program has expanded to Baton Rouge, Acadiana, Shreveport and southern Mississippi, with more than 300 participating restaurants ranging from Commander’s Palace to Ye Olde College Inn. It has been embraced by festival concessions at Voodoo Music + Arts

“Restaurants we talked with a couple of years ago who weren’t sure it was a fit for them are more open to it now,” Kimball says. “They may have had a few key customers asking for something lighter or see other restaurants similar to them doing Eat Fit. It has gotten easier in every region we enter.”

The book project materialized when dietician Emily Eickhoff made the cookbook her capstone project while pursuing a master’s degree in nutrition. The team reached out to Eat Fit restaurant partners to compile more than 125 recipes. Eickhoff took most of the photographs in the book.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Sean Brock The Nashville chef combines Southern foods and modern techniques JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION award-

winning chef Sean Brock was the force behind acclaimed restaurants including McCrady’s Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina and Husk, which opened four locations across the South. He currently is launching a restaurant project in Nashville, Tennessee devoted to the food of his native Appalachia. Brock built his career exploring Southern culinary traditions and ingredients and is known for applying futuristic culinary techniques to traditional dishes.

He also has become an advocate for healthier work environments after a severe bout with an autoimmune disease and alcoholism. Brock recently released his second cookbook, “South: Essential Recipes and New Explorations.” Brock is in New Orleans this week for a book signing and talk with chef Kelly Fields at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 17 at the New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute.

How do you reconcile traditional Southern food and the modern techniques you’ve embraced in your cooking?

BROCK: I think in order to contribute to something so steeped in history, you have to move it forward because it keeps the story alive and at the forefront of conversation. If you just focus on history and tradition, there is an end point, a finish line. You can discover new things all the time, but I believe to contribute to something you love, you’ve got to take risks and push things forward.

You describe Southern food as hailing from microregions. What ingredients or techniques from south Louisiana do you find most important?

B: When I was in high school, I would buy crawfish tails from the back door of a restaurant and make etouffee like three times a week after school. People would come over and eat this new interesting thing that no one in my region had ever tasted. I fell in love with that style of cookery at a very young

P H OTO B Y A L E X B O ER N ER

age, and I blame it all on (TV chef) Justin Wilson. When I was a kid, I would watch that show with my grandparents. If you look at origins of Southern cooking, Creole is at the foundation and something I continue to draw inspiration from.

This is embarrassing to admit, but when I had my first kitchen job at 15, all I talked about was Emeril (Lagasse), so much so that my nickname became “Little Emeril.”

You’ve been candid about your health struggles.

What changes have you seen in the hospitality industry toward creating healthier environments?

B: I have been blessed with a platform and surrounded by a community that listens and cares. By sharing my story, I’ve received hundreds of messages from people saying, “You’ve saved my life.” A big part of my recovery process is that service aspect. There’s also a lot of accountability involved when you put your story in The New York Times.

As an industry, we are at the infancy of the learning process. I was miserable for so long because I wasn’t educated in the ways of wellness. I didn’t know how to communicate; I never went to counseling or therapy. I took all my fears out on a bottle of whiskey. I’m now starting to see people more interested in gaining the knowledge to get help.

One thing we are doing as a restaurant is basing every single decision on how stressful it is. From writing the menu to how many people we schedule, to how much we pay them… it’s all based on stress level. For the longest time, I just pushed and pushed and took for granted that it was going to be really stressful. That’s not sustainable. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

SUSHI BAR

BASSIST MIKE WATT IS A TITAN OF DIY rock. In 1978 in San Pedro, California, he formed The Reactionaries, a group that soon became the Minutemen. That band, arguably the first true postpunk group, toured extensively and released four studio albums and six EPs between 1980 and 1985, when the group disbanded after guitarist Dennes Dale “D.” Boon died in a van accident. Watt thought about quitting music altogether but instead started the band fIREHOSE with Minutemen drummer George Hurley. Later, Watt joined Iggy Pop’s reincarnation of The Stooges, roughly from 2003 to 2013. In 2006, he formed The Missingmen with guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales. The group is best known for energetic live performances featuring extended experimental, jazz-influenced jams over punk grooves. After four decades, Watt continues to grow.

At 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse St., (504) 569-8361; www. oneeyedjacks.net. Tickets $20.

FILM

PREVIEW ‘Song Lang’

BY WILL COVIELLO DUNG “THUNDERBOLT” doesn’t seem like he would be a fan of cai luong, Vietnam’s modern form of popular opera. He works as a debt collector for a loan shark in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly SaiP H OTO C O U R T E S Y L E O N L E gon) and does his job without asking questions about whatever unfortunate situation drove borrowers to his unforgiving boss.

Dung almost burns the elaborate costumes needed by a theater company that is behind on payments. He agrees to wait one day for opening night box office proceeds and goes to the performance. “Song Lang,” which takes its name from a banjolike instrument used in the orchestra of a cai luong show, follows Dung as his patience and conscience are tested.

The film is one of the features screening in the final days of the New Orleans Film Festival.

The story of a gangster with an unexpected soft spot for opera seems familiar, and Dung, who is a hired thug, lives between two worlds. A chance meeting with one of the actors draws out the story of how Dung found a job which demands cold indifference.

Cai luong stories celebrate traditional Vietnamese folktales and history, glorifying personal virtues and heroic exploits. The production’s elaborate costumes are contrasted with the more humble settings in the streets, homes and cafes of Ho Chi Minh City.

Director Leon Le also juxtaposes the romantic and epic lyrics of cai luong stories with government propaganda broadcast from public loudspeakers.

The film is part of the New Orleans Film Festival, which runs through Oct. 23. The closing night film is Kasi Lemmons’ “Harriet,” about the life of Harriet Tubman. For a festival schedule, visit www.neworleansfilmsociety.org. “Song Lang” is in Vietnamese with English subtitles. It screens at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 at The New Orleans Advocate.

GOING OUT REVIEW ‘Reliquaries’

BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT NEW ORLEANS SOMETIMES IS DESCRIBED AS A CITY OF RELICS, a place where the past is never past because so much of it lives on in structures and objects, large and small. Old buildings can subtly resonate a sense of their former inhabitants. Lost or orphaned objects have more intimate second lives as they pass through yard sales and thrift stores and from friend to friend as quirky gifts that live on as talismanic fetishes, symbols embodying what the P H OTO C O U R T E S Y S O RE N surrealists saw as fragments of society’s dreams. This C H R I S T E N S E N G A L L ER Y offers opportunities for artists willing to engage with this unusually arcane and personal milieu, a realm in which Audra Kohout’s work reflects something of the vividly dreamy and carnivalesque inner life of this city’s inhabitants.

Kohout employs old dolls and figurines in theatrical configurations with bits of exotic fabric and antique props, often involving mysterious arrangements of birds, animals, gears and machine parts that hark to ancient mythology and the modern female psyche, while conveying a sense of how technology entangles our lives in many ways. In this “Reliquaries” show, old music box devices play a special role as revolving stages on which Kohout’s mostly female figures interact almost like puppets or fairy-tale princesses guided by invisible forces as they play out mysterious internal dramas. “Dissonance” features two tiny warrior princesses swathed in white fabric and wearing metal helmets studded with animal horns. Seductive yet combative in demeanor, they stand atop little circular stages that are music box mechanisms playing competing harmonies as they turn, suggesting a kind of genteel psychodramatic ballet, or maybe a miniature, innuendo-charged tableau vivant. Women bound by competing internal and external forces are a recurring theme.

“Coronation” (pictured) is an ornate box sculpture in which a ceramic girl child is framed in a series of baroque ovals as a retinue of girl dolls, including half-avian mythic figures, look on expectantly. Additional surreal pedestal and stand-alone sculptures make “Reliquaries” Kohout’s most audacious and ambitious exhibition in years. Through October.
