First Thursdays
Escape into art with a new experience every month! Cash bar, nibbles, and more!
Celebrate the beginning of Pride Month and the opening of MATRIX 194 with a night of music, art, and films. Listen to artist Kyle Dunn in conversation with curator of contemporary art Jared Quinton at 6pm. Vibe to tunes outside in the central courtyard, then move to the theater at 7pm to view a pair of short films by Pedro Almodóvar. In Strange Way of Life, Almodóvar crafts a hyper-male Western melodrama that explores the intensity of middle-aged romance with Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal. The Human Voice showcases Tilda Swinton’s mesmerizing portrayal of a woman grappling with the aftermath of a relationship.
Films directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Spain. 1 hour 1 minute. 2020 and 2023. Rated R. Co-presented by OutFilmCT. Presented in conjunction with Kyle Dunn / MATRIX 194.
This program series is made possible with generous support provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
