A.S. Presents Eric Church, Dec. 6
AS Presents is proud to present Eric Church in the BMU Auditorium on December 6, 2009. Doors open at 7:30pm. The performance will begin at 8:00pm.
When Nashville singer-songwriter Eric Church issued his debut Capitol CD in 2006, he was astonished when he took its songs on the road. Within months, a cult of rabid followers assembled, packing his shows, singing along to every word, driving hundreds of miles to see him and “spreading the gospel” of his extraordinary music. Thanks to Eric Church’s sizable fan base, his first album SINNERS LIKE ME made it into the Top 10 on the country album charts. CAROLINA, the sophomore album by Eric Church, is another collection of strikingly original songs and sounds. Reflecting the restlessly creative character of its maker, CAROLINA is even more musically diverse than its illustrious predecessor.
Tickets are available at the University Box Office on 2nd and Normal or online.

NOV. 10
The Sacrifice (Offret-Sacrificatio) (1986, Sweden) 145 min. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. Sponsored by the Humanities Center and introduced by Troy Jollimore, Philosophy and Humanities Center*
This film is a haunting vision of a world threatened with nuclear annihilation. As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of their patriarch, Alexander (Erland Josephson), their mood of celebration turns horrific when news of the outbreak of World War III reaches their remote Baltic island. With his arresting palette of luminous grays washing over the bleak landscape—captured on film by Ingmar Bergman’s longtime collaborator Sven Nykvist—Tarkovsky conveys the family’s psychological devastation as they enter into a waking nightmare.
Faced with certain extinction, Alexander performs the ultimate sacrifice, entering into a Faustian bargain with God to save his loved ones from the “sickening, animal fear” which grips them. The director’s final film, made as he was dying of cancer, is a profoundly moving personal masterpiece, a redemptive tragedy steeped in unforgettable imagery and heart-wrenching emotion.
*Part of the Humanities Center’s year-long theme “Memory, Nostalgia, Ruins.”

Pilobolus - Dance, Mime, Acrobats and Theater, Nov. 8
Chico Performances presents the innovative dance troupe Pilobolus performing this Sunday in Laxson Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
Ever-evolving - and always surprising - the members of Pilobolus are not only dancers: they are also acrobats and theater and mime artists; as zany as the Marx Brothers, as clever as Houdini; poets who convert their bodies into interchangeable and interlocking parts. This troupe of superhuman artistic athletes continues to turn heads and eyes with its novel approach to gravity, balance, and over-the-top partnerings. Especially entrancing is their shadow work featured at the 2007 Academy Awards. This performance is supported, in part, by the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for this performance are $26 for Premium, $21 for Adult, $19 for Senior and $15 for Student/Child.
To purchase tickets and get more information please visit the Web or call the University Box Office at 898-6333.

Cleese is best known for his contributions to the world of comedy through Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda, and appearances on Cheers, Third Rock from the Sun, and Will and Grace. These days he writes film scripts, makes speeches, teaches seminars on creativity, plays Q in Bond movies and video games, and teaches at Cornell.
