This year we return to our roots in the East Village and have set up shop at Theater for the New City on First Avenue (btw. E. 9th and 10th). A magical transformation is underway right now, as we turn this sprawling theater into our beloved MIX Factory. When you enter, you will be transported, walking beneath custom-built textile parabolas. We invite you to explore every nook and cranny of the nest-like expanse and take in our one-of-a-kind screenings, installations & performances throughout the week.
















OPENING NIGHT:
BURSTING AT THE SEAMS
Tuesday, November 9th - 8 pm - $20

MIX opens this year with abundant queer creativity reaching all across the landscape of our lives, art and politics.

From personal revelations in The Cindy Doll and How the Bridge Works to bold political statements in See Something, Say Something and Lloyd ____ Fein Must Die — opening night is overflowing with imagination and creativity. Poetry courses through documentary in Jay Dreams and contemporary cultural consciousness dissolves into reflection and abstraction in Les Nanas, Make Them Jump and The Ghosts of Syb'L Vane.

Also, to break through the boundary between film and performance, MIX is delighted to have director and violin virtuoso Paul Festa provide a live soundtrack for The Glitter Emergency. We hope you enjoy this collection of ambitious film, video, animation, and performance!
