NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Williams College will present performances of American Vicarious’ production of "Living in Exile," April 10-12 at Williams and April 13-15 at MCLA.

Jon Lipsky’s “Living in Exile,” directed by Christopher McElroen and featuring Alfred Preisser, is a two-character retelling of Homer’s “Iliad.” The piece, performed in the setting of a private American living room, expresses the costs of prolonged warfare, imperialist culture shock and the citizen-as-spectator.

“Living in Exile” will be presented in the Greylock Makepeace Room on the Williams campus on April 10 and 12 at 8 p.m. and on April 11 at 6 and 9 p.m.

The production will move to 107 Main St. in downtown North Adams as part of the MCLA Presents! performance series on April 13 at 8 p.m., April 14 at 3 and 8 p.m., and April 15 at 5 p.m.

Clark Art Presents Music At the Manton Concert

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute kicks off its three-part Music at the Manton Concert series for the spring season with a performance by Myriam Gendron and P.G. Six on Friday, April 26 at 7 pm. 
 
The performance takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
Born in Canada, Myriam Gendron sings in both English and French. After her 2014 critically-acclaimed debut album Not So Deep as a Well, on which she put Dorothy Parker's poetry to music, Myriam Gendron returns with Ma délire – Songs of Love, Lost & Found. The bilingual double album is a modern exploration of North American folk tales and traditional melodies, harnessing the immortal spirit of traditional music.
 
P.G. Six, the stage name of Pat Gubler, opens for Myriam Gendron. A prominent figure in the Northeast folk music scene since the late 1990s, Gubler's latest record, Murmurs and Whispers, resonates with a compelling influence of UK psychedelic folk.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 students, $5 children 15 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. Advance registration encouraged. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
 
This performance is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.
