Sharon Chohi Kim premieres a performance inspired by murmurations—meaning both spontaneous flocks of starlings and a collection of low, continuous sounds. Drawing on the intelligence of decentralized and adaptive systems in nature—such as mushroom spores and moss—this performance is a meditation on shape-shifting and collective intelligence. Bodies resonate in a responsive negotiation of sound and movement, while film and video projections designed by Jennifer Bewerse layered throughout the theater evoke the textures and behaviors of organic systems. Both composing and performing in the work, Kim remixes live, soaring vocals with electronics, accompanied by choreography by Stephanie Zaletel.

A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis.
Retired pugilist Bernard “Bang Bang” Rozyski (Tim Blake Nelson) is inspired to try his hand at training once he reconnects with his estranged grandson. While their training brings Bang Bang out of the hole he’s been living in, everyone questions his motivations – including an ex-girlfriend from decades ago who was privy to Bang Bang’s meteoric rise in the sport in the 80s as well as the rivalry with his former opponent, her cousin and Detroit’s Mayoral candidate Darnell Washington. Is Bang Bang merely passing down inherited rage, or is there true altruism behind his tutelage?

Summer Season Finale! Lock the airlock and grab your popcorn—Alien is landing under the stars, and it’s still the scariest thing in space. A routine mission turns into mayhem when something slithers aboard, and, well, dinner doesn’t go as planned. Ridley Scott made outer space scary, H.R. Giger made it nightmare fuel, and Sigourney Weaver made it iconic. Suspenseful, iconic, and totally unmissable—this is the one that started it all. In space, no one can hear you scream. At Cinespia, we don’t mind. Free Photobooth, Bar, Grill and DJs before the movie.

For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, Guadalupe Maravilla transforms REDCAT into an environment for healing and storytelling. Born in El Salvador, Maravilla fled the country at the age of eight as an unaccompanied minor to escape the violence of the twelve-year Salvadoran Civil War, reuniting with his family in the United States. As an adult, the artist survived cancer, a disease he believes resulted from the childhood traumas of war, migration, exile, and formerly living in the US undocumented. Throughout this new exhibition, Maravilla retraces his personal journey as a migrant while connecting it with the journeys of others, offering a site for ancestral healing and collective care.
