River L. Ramirez's Theories of Perversion & Depravity at Ars Nova

Ars Novas Spring line up highlights its resident artists with eight nights of programming curated by the current Vision Residency class: River L. Ramirez; LEGACY: a Black Queer Production Collective; and Machel Ross. Designed to foreground Ars Novas values through the creation of more equitable and power-sharing curatorial practices, the Vision Residency was launched in 2020 with the goal of expanding Ars Novas artistic vision by inviting artist-curators to program our stages and digital platform with their own work as well as work by artists they champion and admire. Each Resident is given broad support from Ars Novas full staff in their curation, which will result in events and performances in-person at Ars Nova and online on Ars Nova Supra. You can learn more about the Vision Residency program and the artists involved by visiting arsnovanyc.com/vision-residency.Starting this April, River L. Ramirez showcases their heightened, experimental comedic style in a trilogy of performances curated and hosted by the artist. Gathering highbrow and lowbrow authorities alike, from musicians to characters, comedians to writers, this three-night series promises to be an unhinged meeting of minds for the ages. The first performance, River L. Ramirezs Theories of Perversion & Depravity will take place on May 10 in-person at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street, Manhattan) for $15 and online via Ars Nova Supra for $10.
