    Self Portraits 5

    First debuted in 2014, Bottle Alley Theatre’s Self Portraits series has bounced around unconventional venues, including warehouses and the digital hellscape we all dwelled in during the pandemic. For its fifth iteration, Self Portraits lands at Dougherty Arts Center’s mainstage, but the company is still promising “barely controlled chaos.” That means 30 new pieces, directed by Cody Arn, written and performed by Madi Luebbers, Emily Green, Meg Hobgood, Hashir Wallace, Mon Darter, Ciara Cook, Aurora Villarreal, Lligany Otaduy, and Iliana Griffth-Suarez – and delivered in an order determined by the audience. Is it art, or is it anarchy? Who says you can’t have both? – Kimberley Jones

    Fantastic Planet (1973)

    Often joked about as a stoner flick for its psychedelic wah-wah soundtrack and trippy visuals, Fantastic Planet could do that job for sure – but it’s also a hell of a well-crafted animated film if you choose to take it that way. Based on a 1957 novel and meticulously animated for a decade up to its release in 1973, it was made by a largely female team – rare at the time – at the Jiří Trnka Studio in Prague, using lush cutout animation to bring to life the alien flora and fauna of the planet Ygam. The sci-fi plot, though not often considered the most compelling aspect of the film, follows a young boy named Terr as he fights to escape the subjugation of the human species by the Draag, a group of giant blue aliens that kill his mother and enslave him. – Lina Fisher

    Gagatrondra

    Only Mother Monster could resurrect Sister Fisters from their (possibly) early grave. Created by Swan Dive’s own Ariel De Leon, the organizer hinted at last year’s Halloween party being SisFist’s final foray into functions. Then, as though summoned by “Abracadabra,” Ms. Germanotta’s latest had De Leon pulling a party out of her hat. Drag by Damiana Divine, Iggy Bank, Ryan, Sir Maxim, Mars, Tatiana Cholula, and Nixi tells Gaga’s career story from “Alejandro” to “Zombieboy.” DJ Ed West, né Boyfriend, spins all the sickest beats while you get into your Vertigo schtick via visuals by Turito. Show off your disco stick in a photo booth manned by Sean Peters, and put your paws up for host Honey Baby. Tix run you 10 bones. There’s nothing else I can say, eh-eh, eh-eh.– James Scott

  • Music

    Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rodney Crowell

    It’s difficult to overstate the influence of NGDB’s 1972 triple-platter LP Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The album aligned the country-rock insurgence of the 1960s with the Grand Ole Opry tradition, paying earnest deference to legendary country artists and styles while ushering in a new era for Nashville. Now after six decades, the California-born band embarks on their final tour celebrating a legacy that includes multiple Grammys, No. 1 hits like “Fishin’ in the Dark” and “Modern Day Romance,” and their seminal cover of “Mr. Bojangles” that cornerstoned Jerry Jeff Walker’s career. The Houston Kid Rodney Crowell opens. – Doug Freeman

    Perler Beads and a Movie (2007)

    Few activities soothe the savage toddler soul more than quiet movie time. Austin Public Library helps make this chill-out zone more artistically fulfilling by offering a wee craft for the kiddos: hands-on pixel art. Using Perler beads – aka those plastic beads that melt under an iron – kids can make food-themed pieces, which tribute this month’s screening choice Ratatouille. Forgot what happens in that one? Li’l rat Remy dreams of becoming a professional chef despite his family’s – and the world’s – objections to rodents in the kitchen. When he befriends a hapless busboy at a fancy Parisian restaurant, they discover together that “anyone can cook.” Movie starts around 3:30pm, so make sure everyone gets a little snack to avoid rumbling stomachs during food scenes. – James Scott
