In the 1952 musical classic Singin’ in the Rain, there’s a moment when Donald O’Connor’s character, Cosmo Brown, tries to cheer up his friend Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) by launching into the high-energy number “Make ’Em Laugh.” As Cosmo moves through a soundstage filled with discarded set pieces, he transforms the space through physical comedy — bouncing off walls, flipping over furniture, and revealing the artifice of the scenery.

The artist died during the run of her exhibition, just a few days before the new year. It is fitting given that Pippa Garner used her body as a sort of extended art project, something she worked on for years—altering it with surgeries, tattoos and piercings. The greatest work of the show may be that which was not on the checklist: She attended her own opening just a few weeks before her death and laid down on a cot dressed as a stuffed animal.

The tedium of a particular self-consciousness ascribed to Generation Z was on full display in The Death of a Star, a performance and self-proclaimed “reality show,” directed by Jasmine Johnson, which had a sold-out four-day run at New Theater Hollywood (NTH) this June. The black-box theater, run by the artists Max Pitegoff and Calla Henkel, which has quickly made a name for itself as one of the city’s most interesting venues for performance, presented Johnson’s show in four parts.

Photo: Michelle Groskopf/Michelle Groskopf As I pull up to Bally’s Casino in Lake Tahoe, right on the border of Nevada and California, I’m greeted by a 30-foot version of the comedian Nikki Glaser. The big-screen marquee is advertising her “Alive and Unwell” tour, and somewhere inside, past a maze of slot machines and solitary gamblers, she’s getting ready for her sold-out Memorial Day weekend show. “Are you going?” my cabdriver asks.

Ahí está el Broken Man, un oscuro tema dance que Clark impulsa con una voz de tintes rocanroleros y riffs de guitarra.
