Two stories. One set in Paris in the 1880s in a small room inhabited by a tormented artist seeking his inspiration from Japanese art.

Another story is set in after an chemical blast in a city in modern-day China. Two environmental scientists work to chart the reclamation of a deserted city.

Both stories are connected by a love of art. Especially in troubled times, art can heal, lift the spirit and reach into our humanity. Join our stellar ensemble of artists for Lunar New Year Weekend featuring snacks during the evening shows! http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2730722
