Faux-aristocrat and downtown cult-icon Renaldo The returns to 3LD with The Curse of The Mystic Renaldo The.
The "love child of John Waters and Jim Carey" is resurrected to continue on his demented quest for artistic glory.
Shows: February 22, 2007---March 17, 2007 Thursdays and Fridays @ 6:30 AND 9pm, Saturdays @ 9pm
Tickets: $20 @ www.theatermania.com or 212.352.3101 Walk-ups welcome! Student Rush available at the door.
During construction of the 3LD space, a lost silent movie was found buried beneath a concrete slab. Using revolutionary technology, 3LD was able to restore this film, which may have documented the shocking murder of frowzy aristocrat Renaldo The, the legendary figure of incompetent amusement.
In a quaint hotel in 1920's Western Europe, Renaldo's jazz-era death dream is recreated in all its absurd glory. Has one of history's greatest mysteries finally been solved, or is this another of Renaldo's vain attempts to secure some sort of oddball legacy? A hilarious fusion of virtuosic musical performance, slapstick comedy, horror and noir, The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The is a side-splitting send up of "serious" art forms.
Starring Aldo Perez as Renaldo The, his long-suffering yet ever-faithful valet played by Richard Ginnoccio and Jennifer Mitchell as the chambermaid who stole the great Mystic's heart. Directed by Victor Weinstock, with live music performed by NYC's critically acclaimed art-rockers Psycho the Clown.
Presented by 3-Legged Dog.
Alwan for the Arts, in collaboration with 3rd i NY, South Asian Women’s Creative Collective, and Downtown Community Television Center (DCTV), will launch the 2007 New York Arab & South Asian Film Festival, presenting recent features, documentaries, and short films that increase awareness of the creative vitality and sociopolitical realities of North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and their diasporas. The festival will feature a retrospective of celebrated Tunisian director Nacer Khemir (who will also present a Master class at Columbia), as well as sidebar programs of Palestinian Revolution films, new documentaries from Afghanistan, next generation South Asian short films from the UK; and experimental South Asian shorts. Another notable section of the festival is “War Diaries,” which will introduce the American public to unseen daily experiences of the people of Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, and Afghanistan, taken from footage donated by cameramen living on the ground. Festival venues include Tribeca Cinemas, DCTV, Alwan for the Arts, Pioneer Theater, and Columbia University. For tickets and information, or to RSVP for the opening party or festival gala, visit www.alwanforthearts.org/filmfestival or call 212-967-4318. General admission for films is $10.

Part of a three-year project hosted by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Franklin Furnace, on February 26 and 27, 2007 Estevez journeys for two days from the Council to the Queens Museum of Art, stopping at Queens public libraries along the way to continue disseminating knowledge about performance art.
This is one of a series of seven individual pilgrimages that reverse the relationship between art and religion. The piece is modeled after the Catholic El Camino de Compostela in Spain, where devotees travel to the tomb of St James. Religion becomes a tool in the service of art as the artist endures separate journeys that begin in Lower Manhattan and conclude at seven museums. Upon completion of each penance, a passport credential is signed by the director of the institution.
Beginning: Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, 125 Maiden Lane, between Pearl and Water Streets, Lower Manhattan, Departure time: 2:00 pm, Monday, February 26, 2007.
Ending: Queens Museum of Art, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, NY, Estimated arrival time: 7:00 pm, Tuesday, February 27, 2007.
