A young woman in the foreground, a man in the background, against a yellow sun

From detention to diaspora, Mother of Exiles follows a single family’s century-and-a-half odyssey. Jessica Huang’s multigenerational triptych blends historical drama with supernatural encounters, weaving moments of humor into a powerful portrait of belonging and resilience.

Alice (Presented by MOMIX)

A performer in a bright red flowing costume is midair, suspended by red aerial silks. Her body is curled dynamically with one leg bent and the other extended, and her long hair flows behind her. Below her, another dancer draped in red and white fabric patterned with playing card suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs) is visible.

Blending illusion and acrobatics with a sense of whimsy and wonder, Alice features the bold athleticism and theatrical flair of MOMIX’s celebrated dancers as they traverse a series of absurdist vignettes inspired by Carroll’s characters that just get curiouser and curiouser!

Sunday in the Park with George (Presented by Shotgun Players)

An image of Dot from Sunday in the Park with George. She has a purple hat with a pink flower in it. The bottom of the image fades to pointillism style work.

Inspired by French painter Georges Seurat and his iconic 1884 masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, this groundbreaking musical brings the artist’s world to life, as the figures of Seurat’s park step out of the canvas and into the theater, moving, singing, and breathing in color and light. In Act I, George revolutionizes painting with an avant-garde technique. In Act II, his great-grandson attempts to push his art into the age of technology. Across a century, both wrestle with creation, connection, and what we leave behind when everything else changes. Epic in scale, daring, and abstract, this Stephen Sondheim classic is an unflinching and deeply human look at the art of making art.

A women with a light blue decadent dress has her arm in front of her holding the hand of a man with an animal mask, dressed in a navy blue costume

This original presentation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast blurs the distinctions between film and live opera, merging Jean Cocteau’s classic 1946 romantic fantasy story on screen with Philip Glass’ 1994 score. Glass composed the music as a new soundtrack to the film, transforming the original spoken French dialogue into sung libretto. Now Opera Parallèle has responded to the dreamlike, subconscious elements of the story with its own new film and stage direction, further blurring the barriers between the characters onscreen and the singers on stage.

Mother of Exiles (Presented by Berkeley Repertory Theatre)

A young woman in the foreground, a man in the background, against a yellow sun

In 1898, on Angel Island, Eddie Loi faces deportation amid America’s tightening immigration laws. A century later, her great-grandson Braulio inadvertently conjures her spirit — unleashing a witty, opinionated ancestor. By 2063, their descendants embark on a perilous journey seeking sanctuary. From detention to diaspora, Mother of Exiles follows a single family’s century-and-a-half odyssey. Jessica Huang’s multigenerational triptych blends historical drama with supernatural encounters, weaving moments of humor into a powerful portrait of belonging and resilience.

The Hills of California (Presented by Berkeley Repertory Theatre)

Four sisters in a spotlight, arms around each other facing away microphone away from you, except the leftmost sister who turns to look back

Playwright Jez Butterworth (The Ferryman, Jerusalem) weaves the compelling tale of the Webb sisters’ return to their childhood home. Their mother trained them for a singing career like The Andrews Sisters, and now, past and present collide as memories resurface with haunting clarity. The Hills of California explores sibling bonds, and how songs of youth echo through life. Loretta Greco directs the West Coast debut of this masterwork, following its West End and Broadway productions.

Audio Description

Sutra (Presented by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui / Antony Gormley / Szymon Brzóska with the Monks of Shaolin Temple)

17 Monks of Shaolin Temple are each sitting on a wooden pillar that is around 5 feet tall. There is a person sitting at the front of the stage facing the Shaolin Temple monks. All of them are sitting criss-crossed, looking upwards, and have their arms lifted towards the cieling.

Sutra explores the Shaolin kung fu tradition in the context of contemporary culture, inviting a cadre of modern-day practitioners to lend their skills—the flying kicks, backflips, and shadow-boxing practiced as part of their spiritual discipline—to a humorous fable about a European outsider learning about their monastery. The chamber music score by Brzóska is performed live.

On a dark stage, a group of 12 dancers are dancing in a circle around a large eye-level chandelier. They are standing, almost leaning back, and have their hands up in the air.

Steeped in a ballet tradition that dates to the court of Louis XIV, the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet meet the visceral and emotive choreography of London-based choreographer Hofesh Shechter in the North American premiere of a new evening-length work. Shechter creates vivid, urgent cinematic tableaus in his works, and his new creation has been envisioned especially for the Paris Opera Ballet.

DIASPORADICA (Presented by RUPTURE)

  • Fort Mason Festival Pavilion (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The cast of RUPTURE is situated in clump, sharing weight at different levels and wearing different shades of brown and tan, looking at the camera and in various directions.

Join RUPTURE for the premiere of DIASPORADICA, a sprawling and immersive theatrical takeover of Fort Mason’s Pier 3 Festival Pavilion. An experimental performance collective founded by Bay Area/NYC artists José E. Abad, Stephanie Hewett, Clarissa “Lars” Rivera-Dyas, Gabriele Christian, and Styles Alexander, RUPTURE brings together the multidisciplinary visions of these powerhouses within San Francisco’s arts and culture scene. Via DIASPORADICA, audiences join an interactive odyssey of mutiny and belonging. RUPTURE creates a world of shipwrecks, sirens, techno, and Spades, engulfing us in layered encounters only possible when artists assemble, converse, build something together.

Structured in three acts, Diasporadica charts a journey through Fort Mason’s Festival Pavilion that is both ethereal and explosive. The work blends contemporary dance, immersive installation, ritual, and community engagement to blur the lines between Black kinship, spectatorship, and artistic embodiment. The experience begins with a Kickback — an invitation to leisure and gameplay — before shifting the energetics of the space in Performance, a collective choreography and improvisation drawn from diasporic storytelling. The work culminates in a Function, transforming the stage into a club space we can join and so experience dance as a communal, spiritual technology.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.

ASL Interpretation provided on Saturday, August 30th. Deaf or Hard of Hearing guests should RSVP by August 28th. Please email ruptureisnow@gmail.com to pre-register.
