Anyone who’s seen Drain live has felt it. The electricity coming off of the stage. The communal energy of the fans singing upfront. The primal thrills of fists flying in the moshpit. The uninhibited joy emanating from every banging head, screaming lung, and airborne foot in that room. There’s nothing like a Drain show. There’s no other hardcore band like Drain. The Santa Cruz band is an institution in their genre and an affable neighbor to their adjacent ones. Punks love Drain. Metalheads love Drain. Haters can’t help but love Drain. Drain is for everyone. Well, venue security guards might not love Drain. But to everyone else: Drain … Is Your Friend.

This theatre-dance work follows Ayana, a young African American college student with roots in Latin and West African culture. Deeply connected to all three worlds yet fully claimed by none, she is overwhelmed by her competing identities. As she falls into a dreamlike state, she is guided by Griot — a keeper of ancestral memory, and three cultural Elders representing Latin, African American, and West African traditions.

Through dance, spoken word, drumming, and collective movement, this story explores identity as layered rather than fragmented. At its heart, Echoes of Heritage is about reclamation; how ancestry lives in the moment, how culture survives in the body, and how one young woman learns that she is not torn between worlds — she is the echo that carries them forward.

Created and directed by Kishema Pendu Malik and Jason Nious.

Also April 16-19 at 7 p.m., with a 2:00 performance on April 12.

Ancient Ordinary is a visual art exhibition by Alex Panzer and Kaleb Wesolek that aims to reflect on and reinterpret the objects that frequent our lives. This concept is explored through pieces that represent ordinary objects. The Artifacts, The Ancestor, The Sitter, and The Chair all presented as if stumbled upon by an archeologist of the future mulling over ancient humans.

The mundane suddenly becomes the most interesting without the context of the object. One of the most mundane and ubiquitous objects, the chair, was chosen for reinterpretation. Used simply to sit and rest, think, consume. What if our understanding of the mundane was not so obvious and universal? The Chair answers this question through re contextualization.
