SUMMARY:Nihil & Friends present ART IS LIFE IS ART: RED HOT Variety Show! (in LA)
DESCRIPTION:The Philosophical Research Society is proud to host a variety show from Highland Park’s very own Nihil Declarandum\, as Nihil & Friends present Art Is Life Is Art: RED HOT! \nEach Art is Life Is Art variety show is a 90 min emotional rollercoaster of immersive theater\, music\, puppetry and short film based on a theme\, and this month performers will explore the character commonly referred to as “the Devil\,” or “Satan” through film\, music\, puppets\, and a very special live-reading of Sam Kestenbaum’s article from Harpers: The Demon Slayers! \nNihil creates artist-driven works that tell uncomfortable truths\, forgotten histories and family secrets on a “need-to-tell” basis. Nihil designs and produces animated and live-action projects that are hand-crafted\, emotional and tactile. Their goal is to make live-events that reflect what it is like to be alive RIGHT NOW. \nOur host is Natasha Mercado\, an actress\, director\, and the visionary behind The Soft Clown\, a performance philosophy rooted in vulnerability\, connection\, and heartfelt absurdity. She will make you laugh\, make you cry — and find joy in the dark. \nMusicians: McKenzie Stubbert\, Jackie Urlik \nMcKenzie Stubbert is an award-winning composer based in Los Angeles who live-scores Art is Life is Art with harpist Jackie Urlik. \nFeatured Artists: \n1. Handsome Devil – Music Video by Daniel Barrow (2024) \nDaniel Barrow uses Amiga software from the late 1980s (DeluxePaint 4) to create this romantic pink and green story of a “sissy devil” who probes the depths of internet intelligence\, composing an “advanced search” on an antiquated search engine. Simultaneously\, a naked\, green\, feminine artist traces the contours of her devilish destiny on her sketch pad\, and then within an imaginary dating app. The “advanced search” becomes a kind of contemporary\, queer\, love poem. Original song by The Ballet\, from the album “Daddy Issues”\, 2024. \n2. “The Devil You Say\,” a puppet soliloquy of Satan in his own words by Robin Walsh. \nPuppet Artist Robin Walsh loves proving that alternate realities exist – and creating them. Her work focuses on bringing puppetry into both expected and unexpected places. Clients include Henson\, Disney\, the Academy Awards\, and Stanford University among others. She’s performed at the Hollywood and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals and in The Oscars\, Men in Black\, Team America\, Captain Underpants\, and SpongeBob SquarePants. Other highlights include an Emmy nomination\, a Jim Henson Foundation Workshop Grant\, and restoring the real Rudolph and Santa puppets from the Rankin/Bass classic animated holiday special. \n3. “The Best of Damnation” – a video art supercut by cinematographer Jordan Holtane. \n4. An original poem from Fernando A. Funes – Funes is a writer-performer who produces shows in Los Angeles including Duo It Again at The Lyric Hyperion\, hosted by his duo improv team\, FernGully. He also produces The Dazed & Confused Poetry Club\, an intimate poetry show at The Glendale Room. And he is the first-ever Director of The Lyric Hyperion & Glendale Room Training Center. His short film\, “The American Dream” has been featured in over 43 film festivals\, including the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival. He writes a poem for every day of the year. He’s very excited about his first poetry collection\, Working Class PTSD\, or How I Learned to Code Switch + Love Poems. \n5. A live-reading of Harper’s article: The Demon Slayers with the author\, Sam Kestenbaum\, acting as narrator. \nTHE CAST: \nFrank Mosley \nDeeki Deeke \nEric Toms \nNatasha Mercado \nWhitney Ellis \nKim Divad \nFernando A. Funes \nMichael Serwich \nBernardo Porto \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nSam Kestenbaum is a journalist covering religion in America. The Revealer\, in an interview\, said: “He has a particular talent for telling stories about complicated people with a kind of lucid nuance.” Longreads calls Sam’s reporting “fascinating… gonzo and empathetic at the same time.” \n6. Alegrías Riojanas (28min) – a short film from Spanish Director\, Velasco Broca. \nCast: Juan Antonio Herreruela\, Ramon Churruca\, Fernando Moreno\, Rafael Alberola\, \nBarbara Mingo\, Jose Luis Pérez Santiago\, Nerea Revilla \nFILM SYNOPSIS: \nAn ophthalmologist’s confession is interrupted when the priest who was attending him \nleaves in an emergency. After his absolution was postponed\, he decided to return to his \nsurgery. On the way\, absorbed in his thoughts\, he is fatally hit by a car. From that moment \non\, his immortal soul is cast into a medieval-looking purgatory populated by grotesque \ncreatures\, blemishes and devils. Will he be able to remember that the pearl is hidden in \nthe abyss and the sun remains in the pearl? \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER: \nHis trilogy of 16mm short films\, ECHOS DER BUCHRÜCKEN (2001-2007\, Kinky Hoodoo Voodoo\, La costra lactea\, Avant Petalos Grillados) participated in international festivals such as Cannes Directors’ Fortnight\, Sitges\, Slamdance (Best Experimental Short Film Award) and Torino\, among others.

SUMMARY:The Cosmic Romantics (near LA)
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to travel back in time\, down the rabbit hole\, and through your mind… The Cosmic Romantics are a vaudeville-inspired powerhouse magic duo. Their fast-paced full evening show combines elements of illusion\, song\, comedy\, juggling\, and storytelling\, blended elegantly and performed at the highest level. Along the way they share snippets of their cosmic love story: meeting in the LA variety world\, falling in love (after a rocky start)\, and working their way up to fooling Penn & Teller. \nElizabeth is one of the most sought after entertainers in the variety world\, performing her own vintage blend of magic and music at venues such as House of Blues\, the Magic Castle\, Brookledge Follies\, Meltdown Comics\, The Globe Theater\, and just about everywhere else. Beginning her career in the Long Beach music scene\, she fronted Golden Afternoon\, which the LA Times described as “If Tom Waits and Ella Fitzgerald had a baby.” You can see Elizabeth in Netflix’s emmy-winning children’s show Ada Twist\, Scientist or the feature film Marvelous and the Black Hole\, an official selection at Sundance Film Festival. \nEric “Thirstin” Siegel has consulted for the Disney Channel and several of L.A.’s top magicians. The Chicago Tribune praised his work as “pushing the boundaries of long form storytelling\,” and the L.A. times dubbed him a “petulant Lou Reed.” Catch a show of his at the Magic Castle\, Black Rabbit Rose\, UCB\, or The Comedy Store. \nStarts 7PM PT

SUMMARY:Planets\, Planets\, Planets – Astrological Alt Comedy Event (in LA)
DESCRIPTION:Planets\, Planets\, Planets is an alt comedy troupe that uses improv\, clown and sketch to unpack different astrological moments in time.

SUMMARY:The Psychedelic Art of 1970s Christian Hippie Comics (in LA)
DESCRIPTION:Good News! Religion and myth scholar Amy Slonaker will present an illustrated lecture on comic books from the 1970s designed by Christian Evangelicals to attract hippies to the Christian faith.  These “Christian Hippie Comics” present a psychedelicized version of Christianity where Aquarian ideas of free love and spiritual enlightenment merge with the Christian story of salvation through the love of Jesus. This lecture uses visual examples to explore the artwork of Christian Hippie Comics with their eye-popping array of counterculture iconography grafted onto Biblical narratives. The sources explored in this lecture include\, among others\, the work of Christian illustrator Al Hartley of Spire Christian Comics; cartoon art from the hippie-oriented Hollywood Free Paper; and issues of the comic book series The Crusaders by Jack Chick and Fred Carter (co-creators of many “Chick Tracts”). This lecture presents not only an historical overview of the genre of Christian Hippie Comics but also engages contemporary academic theories about religion and comics like those developed by religion professor Jeffrey Kripal in his book Mutants and Mystics (2003). These comic book theories present a way to understand Christian Hippie Comics as more than throw-away articles of pop culture and instead as visual manifestations of transcendent mystical truths. \n  \nAmy Slonaker is a PhD candidate at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara\, CA\, pursuing a degree in Mythological Studies with an emphasis in depth psychology. After a career in law\, she now enjoys combining her myth scholarship with her undergraduate degree in Religious Studies from UC Santa Barbara to explore the intersection of religion and myth in both high and low art. \nStarts 7PM PT
