SFist Tonight

FILM: John Cage, who was an American composer and pioneer of chance music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, is honored in this one-time only screening of The Revenge of the Dead Indians. The film is made up of footage of Cage and performances of his music, which are assembled together with 42 personalities, from well-known artists, to market vendors and street cleaners, "found" video and audio landscapes, and theatrically directed readings. The screening, which is a benefit for Other Minds, includes complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres.

THEATER: The "story after the story," One Bad Year with Meliza Banales uses multi-media, dance, bubbles, balloons, science, Xicano-Buddhism, fashion, and astrology to follow "the three selves of Banales" -- her inner child, Lil' Missy, her inner-chola, Mari, and Meliza herself, as she deals with a divorce, the murder of her nephew, and losing her job, all in one fell swoop.
