SUMMARY:A Conversation with Edgar Garcia & Benjamin A. Saltzman
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Edgar Garcia & Benjamin A. Saltzman \nEdgar Garcia and Benjamin A. Saltzman will discuss their new books Cantares and Turning Away\, respectively. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the Books: Turning Away: A sweeping account of how we are at our most human when we turn away from the pains of the world. \nWhy do we look away from the suffering of others? Why do we cover our faces in shame or lower our heads in grief? Few gestures are as universal as the averted gaze. Fewer still are as ambivalent and inscrutable. In this incisive study\, Benjamin A. Saltzman reveals how the kaleidoscopic appearance of these gestures in art\, poetry\, and philosophy has turned them into an essential language for our uncomfortable engagements with the world. \nInto the horizon of contemporary discourse\, Turning Away sets out from five influential scenes in which figures avert their gaze: Timanthes’s Sacrifice of Iphigenia\, Plato’s Republic\, Augustine’s Confessions\, Christ’s Crucifixion\, and the Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The gestures of aversion in these scenes refract across visual media\, through philosophy and politics\, into modernity and the present day\, having been reimagined along the way by thinkers like Hannah Arendt\, artists like Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí\, poets like Langston Hughes\, and many others. Saltzman offers a timely critique of the privilege of turning away and of the too-easy condemnation of our tendencies to do so. \nCantares: Poems and micro-essays intertwine in this poetically attuned adaptation of the mid-sixteenth century Nahuatl-language Cantares Mexicanos \nCantares is a multipart engagement with the poetics and history of the colonial and Indigenous Americas\, oscillating between poetry and essay in a structure of repetitions derived from Mesoamerican poetics. Edgar Garcia reimagines the Cantares Mexicanos\, a sixteenth-century anthology of Nahuatl songs from Central Mexico\, and brings these songs to life not just as historical documents\, but as music\, to give presence of thought to their historical layers and complexities. His adaptations evoke the sound and texture of the sixteenth century\, blending Indigenous and Baroque traditions\, exploring themes of translation\, adaptation\, race\, and historical memory. The collection moves between poetry and scholarship—between poems and micro-essays. The essays provide commentary and historical context about the colonial soundscape of Central Mexico. At the same time\, the poems emphasize the songs’ sonic\, spiritual\, and poetic dimensions. \nThe Cantares emerge from a time of cultural collision—after the arrival of the Castilians but still rooted in older\, Indigenous worldviews. These songs are not nostalgic or idealized; they reflect crisis\, survival\, and creativity. Garcia’s work draws inspiration from the Popol Vuh\, the K’iche’ Maya creation story\, which begins in colonial darkness and still insists on the possibility of light. Through these adaptations\, Cantares becomes a meditation on history\, imagination\, and the power of art to endure and create in the face of loss. \nAbout the Authors: BENJAMIN A. SALTZMAN is associate professor of English at the University of Chicago\, where he coedits the journal Modern Philology. Saltzman is the author of Bonds of Secrecy: Law\, Spirituality\, and the Literature of Concealment in Early Medieval England and the coeditor of Thinking of the Medieval: Midcentury Intellectuals and the Middle Ages. \nEDGAR GARCIA is associate professor of English at the University of Chicago\, where he is affiliated with the Program in Creative Writing. He is the author of Emergency: Reading the Popol Vuh in a Time of Crisis\, Skins of Columbus: A Dream Ethnography\, and Signs of the Americas: A Poetics of Pictography\, Hieroglyphs\, and Khipu.

SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Out Here \nLife happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a world-premiere musical\, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago\, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants it all on her own terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next\, Dawn must learn to abandon expectations\, harmonize with loved ones\, and trust the process. If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer\, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nAcclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story\, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm
