      Performa/Dance: The Mad Scene

      This. This right here. This darkling spectacle of kinetic disruption from Austin's world-class Performa/Dance company is what we've been waiting for. Jennifer Hart's The Mad Scene is a 90-minute absurdist dance-drama that dives into the human longing for fame. It's pop fiction crossed with black comedy, exploring themes of celebrity, desire, power, fantasy, and the mercurial strands of the human psyche. You know those strands, citizen? They look damned good onstage, and wow do they move. Especially as embodied by Ian J. Bethany, Alexa Capareda, Edward Carr, Katherine Deuitch, Paul Martin, Grace Morton, Kevin Murdock-Waters, Kelsey Oliver, Preston Andrew Patterson, and Elise Pekarek.
      Fri.-Sat., June 10-11, 8pm. $25-40.

      A War of the Worlds

      In Jarrett King's comic and thrilling reimagining of a multimedia classic, Orson Welles and his radio troupe, the Mercury Theatre, are a group of Black artists fighting to hold their place at the CBS radio studio. "In the hope of securing a critical corporate sponsorship, Welles orchestrates a last-ditch ratings stunt that causes national panic and secures their undeniable – if infamous – place in media history." And, look, we have a full review right here.
      Through June 18. Thu.-Sat., 7:30pm; Sun., 5pm. $16 and up.

      Brennen Leigh (album release)

      The lyrics of Brennen Leigh’s “Obsessed With the West” deserve to be inscribed on a metal plaque at a Texas natural monument … maybe Guadalupe Peak: “Her buzzing cicadas, her chalky white rocks/ Her high dancing grasses, her black buzzard flocks.” That anthemic title track stands as an outlier on the former Austinite’s latest collection, a 12-track collaboration with Asleep at the Wheel that finds her exquisitely polishing Western swing songcraft including a Texas Playboys tribute: “If Tommy Duncan’s Voice Was Booze.”

      Ghost Wolves, Joe Ben Experiment

      Been a minute since we heard from Carley and Jonny Wolf, aka blues/garage/trash/punk duo Ghost Wolves. Going by April’s spaghetti-Western-in-miniature video for “Pieces of 8,” their music’s been wrapped in a gothic huzz, bolstered by the Ennio Morricone-esque sonics. New LP Never Die hits Friday with a show the next day at ABGB. Meanwhile, the Joe Ben Experiment opens his scientific laboratory of spacey beats and alternative guitar stylings.

      Juneteenth at Pioneer Farms

      Freedom for slaves in Texas came two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and the commemoration of the date the news reached Texas (June 19, 1865) is now honored as Juneteenth. The date was named a federal holiday only last year. Austin's historic farm celebrates a week early with a day full of history lessons, celebrations, food and drinks, and guided tours, including a sneak peek of the Freedmen Farm site soon to be constructed.

      Mayan Warrior

      From enormous playa parties at Burning Man, the Mayan Warrior sound crew celebrates their 10-year anniversary in Austin on the first of four rave stops. “Full art car” means the Mexico City crew’s massive float of a soundstage with Mayan and Huichol-inspired art will welcome fellow practitioners of psychedelic spiritualism. Artist names are embargoed, but we can tease the house and techno DJ lineup: a Berlin-based, Tel Aviv-born purveyor of disco halal; a Greek-born champion of darker, progressive music economy; a resident Mayan Warrior and experience designer of indie leanings; and a young Anjunadeep influencer from Istanbul.

      Undark: A Radioactive Puppet Play

      Trouble Puppet, Austin's premiere troupe of object manipulators and societal provocateurs, returns with this tale of female workers manufacturing luminous timepieces and navigational instruments using the newly discovered natural wonder: radium. The case of the “Radium Girls” is a story of shocking criminal negligence and the perseverance of women against a misogynistic system, and you can be sure that Connor Hopkins and company, working under a grant from the Jim Henson Foundation, will bring this fraught atomic time to vivid half-life onstage. And, look: Here's our reviewer's reaction to this new Trouble Puppet production.
      Through June 12. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 6pm. $15-37.
