    Dining In the Dark

    Here's a unique, 90-minute culinary experience designed to rely on senses other than sight, where all the guests will be blindfolded while they eat.There, in the velvet darkness of the blackest night, safely ensconced within the modern elegance of the W Hotel in Downtown Austin, you'll partake of mouthwatering cuisine from your choice among three menus: Green (vegan), Blue (pescatarian), or Red (a carnivore's delight).What will you be eating this night, adventurous citizen? A Mexican-inflected starter that recalls the occasional dining splurges of your college days? A main course redolent of masterful meatery, or pescatarian power, or gastronomic tropes of vegan creativity, and each with compelling accompaniments? Your host will guide you through the three courses, inviting your blindfolded guesses between bites and drinks, all the way to the sweet finale of dessert.The panoply of flavors here, the diversity of textures, the gradients of temperature – all these unseen aspects of dining will come to the fore in a curated experience that's unlike any other, presented by the event wizards of Fever Originals.
    Fri., April 15 & 22, seatings at 6 & 8:30pm. $80.

    ICOSA: Silent Language

    "My work for the past thirty-five years," says the artist Sono Osato, "has been inspired by the confluence of geological and anthropological history, the connection between terrain and symbolic thought." Now her Silent Language #13 is on display in the Window Dressing series at ICOSA. "It's a good point of entry for anyone who is unfamiliar with my work," says Osato – and it's viewable 24/7 within the Canopy courtyard.
    Through April 11

    The Plastic Bag Store

    Texas Performing Arts presents this local installation – at the Blue Genie space on Airport, no less – of Robin Frohardt's brilliant and immersive tribute to the vulgar overdoity of plastic waste that humans are subjecting themselves and the rest of our planet to. Listen: "Visit a grocery store where the shelves are stocked with thousands of original, hand-sculpted items — produce and meat, dry goods and toiletries, cakes and sushi rolls — all made from discarded, single-use plastics in an endless cacophony of packaging. When you visit, the store transforms into a cinema for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic, sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations." Sensationally graphic yet more than just spectacle, this thing's got philosophical teeth as sharp as the fangs we're sinking deep into our own carotid. (Note: Some seatings will be free, via Fusebox Festival.)
    Through April 17. Sat., 11am, 1pm, 6pm, 8pm; Sun., 11am, 1pm, 4pm; Wed.-Fri., 4pm, 6pm, 8pm. $15-25.
