Moskowitz + Trager's seventeen minute stylized opera follows a family's move to a commune. Non-actors, including the artists themselves, performance artist Joan Jonas, and other friends, each spew forth a chorus of voices (Moskowitz and Trager's singing voices) at an otherworldly tempo in scenes symbolizing contemporary life. The work's title, taken from the Aristophanes playThe Birds, refers to the disillusionment that the family ultimately experiences: In 4th century BC the notion of utopia was also cast into doubt.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century.

The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
