Ever since Get Out we've received a slew of movies in which a protagonist who is neither wealthy, white nor male finds themselves surrounded by people who are either wealthy, white, male or some combination thereof. Zoë Kravitz' directorial debut Blink Twice is so indebted to this formula that it could have been titled Don't Worry about The Menu at Saltburn Darling. It takes a protagonist who is neither wealthy, white nor male and surrounds them with characters who are very much a combination of all three. Much of its drama has been done to death in the post-MeToo era but there are some cleverly subversive touches that struggle to escape what ultimately becomes a rather formulaic thriller.

"Yeah, yeah, just sitting here in my backyard having some coffee and knocking some interviews out. I have to admit, this is my spot.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
