“Delusion”
Saturday, October 15 at 8 pm
$57/$47/$37 save
One of the seminal artists of our time, Laurie Anderson’s
genre-crossing work combines performance, film,
music, installation, writing, photography, and sculpture.
Using violin, electronic puppetry, and visuals, Delusion
tells its story in the colorful and poetic language that
has become Anderson’s trademark. Conceived as a
series of short mystery plays, Delusion jump-cuts
between the everyday and the mythic to tell a complex
story about longing, memory, and identity. Inspired by
the decline of her mother, and employing a series of
altered voices and imaginary guests, Delusion is about
the pleasure of language and the possibility of a world
made entirely of words.

In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and 27 others set out to be the first team of explorers to cross Antarctica. After their ship, The Endurance, froze and eventually

(Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko), co-conceived with Kronos Quartet, and joined by an extraordinary team of multi-disciplinary collaborators, 69°S.
is a narrative installation-in-motion in which puppetry, music, film, and field recordings from Phantom Limb’s research trip to Antarctica meld to create
a stunning emotional journey. Exploring such important themes as the price of knowledge, the inevitability of adversity, climate change, and the power
of endurance and camaraderie, 69°S. resonates powerfully in 21st-century hearts and minds.

“As close to a sure thing as can be found onstage, 90 minutes
of cleverness and comedy that go by in a flash!” —New York Times
If you see one group of multi-faceted new-vaudevillians at the apex of their ambidextrous and alliterative
ability, make sure you see the Flying Karamazov Brothers too. Fun for all ages, these are not just any
wild-haired, juggling, flame-throwing, kilt-and-tutu wearing performers. The four zany brothers deliver
visual and verbal one-liners, all while creatively tossing about anything they can get their hands on.
At the Flynn, you’re invited to bring objects to the theater for the brothers to keep airborne in a challenge
that ends either with a pie in the face or a standing ovation. As director/founder/performer Paul Magid
says, “Juggling is dropping.”

Featuring a 30-member cast, a live orchestra, elegant costumes,
lively dancing, and show-stopping special effects, Nebraska Theatre
Caravan’s beautifully staged musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’
classic, A Christmas Carol, is a perennial Flynn holiday favorite.
This beloved performance shares the tale of tight-fisted, middle-class
merchant Ebenezer Scrooge, and ultimately shows that a greedy
world can be healed by brotherhood and unselfishness.
