The celebrations are over and it’s back to regular life, but you don’t have to give in to the post-holiday blues—in fact, it’s a perfect time to make a resolution to enjoy the city more than ever. Here’s our curated guide to some of the best of what’s going on around town.
Tuesday: Cirque du Soleil’s Luiza
Running at Dodger Stadium through February 11, this dazzling new Cirque show is billed as a “waking dream of Mexico,” incorporating imagery and stories from Mexican folklore into the surrealistic performance.
Wednesday: #HealHer at Human Resources
In 2017, we saw a cultural movement addressing sexual harassment and violence against women. To kick off 2018, a group of artists and performers will gather for events in cities around the world focusing on healing through storytelling, music, and spiritual practice. Bring a flower or small offering to the gallery and participate in this powerful, free workshop.
Thursday: Human Flow Screening with Ai Weiwei
World-renowned artist and activist Ai Weiwei will be on hand at the Hammer museum to answer audience questions after a screening of Human Flow, a documentary he directed about the global refugee crisis. The film was the result of a year of traveling to 23 different countries to capture the human stories behind the statistics.
