Humans 2.0 by Circa
2025-11-01 - 2025-11-02 | BIng Studio, 327 Lasuen Street, Stanford, CA, 94305, United States
Ten bodies appear in a flash of light. They move in harmony and then descend into a sinuous trance. Towers grow and decay, bodies leap and are caught as physical limits are pushed to their extreme. Can we ever find a perfect balance or is adapting to constant change the only way forward? Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, Humans 2.0 is intimate, primal, and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human.

Before Night Falls
2025-11-02 19:00 | BAMPFA, 2155 Center St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States
This sweeping cinematic portrait of the Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas covers the whole of the artist’s life, taking cues from his writing to spark the images and advance the narrative—from Arenas’s birth and childhood, the thrill of revolution, and his sexual awakening, to his persecution and exile. “In seamlessly weaving Arenas’s memories and fantasies with archival and simulated documentary footage, [Julian] Schnabel reveals how ‘reality’ and ‘fiction’ coalesce, facilitating a more truthful portrait of a poet’s life than one on which a filmmaker’s own preconceptions have been imposed” (Graham Fuller, Artforum).
