Fusing theater, dance, music, and video, ArtsEmerson's MAN IN A CASE is an unusual entertainment, something that has to be seen to be appreciated. At the least, it is an example of thinking outside of the box and an opportunity to see one of the world's greatest dancers onstage; at best, it is an opportunity to see that one of the world's greatest dancers has many more tricks up his tights and that his fluid movements have not abandoned him. You can take the dancer out of the ballet, but you cannot take the ballet out of the dancer. Even in a straight play, the man still has all the right moves.

The Loneliest Whale in the World, written by Zoe Geltman and directed by Julia May Jonas, will be performed at the Community Space Theater at Theater for the New City as part of the 2013 Dream Up Festival, from August 28 - September 7. The Loneliest Whale...is a play about a sad whale who has decided to end its own life, and two self-destructive loners who risk allowing their hideous kinks to swallow themselves up. As all three alternately fight and give into the shameful morbid pleasure of obsession and complacency, this performance invites the question: can we ever really fix our broken parts?
