"Not everything powerful is loud," Brittany Howard says when asked what the reunited band members wanted to explore with their new music. "Not everything quiet is vulnerable."

STAR LINE recasts the affable indie rapper as something sharper-eged — a skeptic of the state and champion of the collective, who is ready to scrap if necessary.

"In the Name of Duration" features Marcos Duran / Moving Works, Eric Geiger, Emily Aust, Victor De La Fuente, and Friends. The collective will enter extended performance galleries, experimenting with time, physical endurance, mental agility, and public engagement. The public is welcome to move around the performers as if in an art museum, and may enter and exit the theater as often as they need. The experience is 3 hours long from start to finish. Thursday, May 1: 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. & 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. Friday, May 2: 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. & 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. Visit: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/marcos-duran-tech-rehearsal-431511

On her sophomore release, Am I the Drama?, the trash-talking Bronx rapper still has no filter — but could, perhaps, have used an editor.

The annual Play Days showcase was far more interesting than the reveals themselves.
