Painting Revolution

Until the breakup of the former Soviet Union, many pioneering artworks by the Russian avant-garde were stored away. They are part of this collection of 85 rarely seen figurative and abstract paintings. Dating primarily from 1907 to the 1930s the work represents 32 artists, many of whom had a profound effect on the course of modern art. Included are works by Kandinsky, Malevich, Goncharova, Larionov, Popova, Rodchenko and Tatlin. A programme of free theatre performances, gallery talks, lectures, films and concerts is offered in conjunction with this exhibition.

Shadowlight Theatre

Ancient tradition and cutting-edge technology are combined in the world première of the company's new performance, 'Tales from Native California: Coyote's Journey'. This all-ages show uses the traditional Balinese medium of shadow theatre to tell the story of a young coyote who pursues a mythical inland ocean and in the meantime frees salmon into the Klamath River and sings the world's first love song. More than 15 actors, puppets, and musicians rub elbows behind the scenes to project the action on the 30-foot screen.

Global Conceptualism

Don't be turned off by the rubbish title. This exhibition is made up of more than 200 works by 135 artists from Africa, Asia, Austalia, New Zealand, Europe, Latin America, North America and the former Soviet Union. Organized by New York's Queens Musuem of Art, the groundbreaking show boasts 14 international curators. Many of these pieces carry a political message, provoking assaults on the status quo. Curious visitors will see how Cold War-era artists revolted against systems of authority.

McArthur Café

Even if the Haitian music scene is dominated by men, Miami's best venue for live shows is powered by women. Since 1999, general manager Vivian Lazarre's female bartending crew at the McArthur Café, Miami's best Haitian club, has kept crowds of up to 800 fans happy. Out-of-town thrillers such as System, Sweet Mickey and King Posse alternate with local favourites Zenglen and D-Zine on Friday and Sunday nights. Weekly dance contests put the fans in the spotlight.

Meet John WTO

When the members of the World Trade Organisation convened in Seattle in 1999, most people knew there were going to be arrests made. But nobody figured there would be a play written. Dan McHale, a self-described New York Times-reading mild-mannered liberal, was one of the 600 people arrested for protesting during the conference. When he got out of jail, he got out his pen and wrote about it. 'Meet John WTO' is a one-man show reflecting on how one man goes from drawing cartoons for an ad agency to battling teargas and baton-wielding cops as part of a human barricade.
