NEW YORK & FLORIDA
The Inbal Pinto Dance Company of Tel Aviv brings its newest production, “Oyster,” to New York’s Joyce Theater for its American premiere, followed by a stop in Miami before a European tour.
Inspired by Tim Burton’s “The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy,” a short tale of a mollusk-boy whose parents can’t cope with his brininess, the Inbal Pinto’s 12-member troupe takes this flight of fantasy into the world of the surreal. Dancers metamorphize — transforming into human marionettes, for example — while merging the innocence of child’s play with the grotesque in a blend of acrobatics, mime, modern dance and ballet choreographed by Inbal Pinto and set to an eclectic range of sounds arranged by director Avshalom Pollak.
Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave.(at 19th Street), New York; April 22-April 27, Tue.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; $35, reservations suggested. (212-242-0800)
Miami-Dade Community College, Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, 174 E. Flagler St., Miami, Fla.; May 2, 8 p.m.; $17, $27 and $37, reservations suggested. (305-372-0925 or www.culture.mdcc.edu)

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
