The Best Things to Do in NYC This Week: Non Grata's Diverse Universe @ Last Frontier NYC
Spend your Saturday night way, way out there with legendary Estonian performance-art troupe Non Grata and friends at Diverse Universe . Non Grata's bizarre, extremely interactive performances have been likened to a "fantastical and deranged anarchic circus" and described as "pure energy being channeled ritualistically through an audience." They regularly involve abrasive noise music, demented masks, inexplicable shouting through a bullhorn, people (only sometimes the performers) getting lashed together or branded with cattle prods, and plenty of fire and explosions . The Estonians will be joined by Emotron from Georgia, MAKS from NYC, and Animals Against Humans from New Jersey—each sure to be more insane than the last.
