Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s San Diego, this radical reimagining of "Twelfth Night" swaps Elizabethan garb for neon windbreakers, beachballs, and synth beats. When a shipwreck strands Viola on the sun-soaked shores of SoCal, she disguises herself as a dude named “Cesario” and meets the music obsessed Duke Orsino, who’s pining for the wealthy Olivia. But when Olivia falls for Cesario and Viola falls for Orsino, things get gnarlier than a beachside love triangle. Throw in a crew of mischievous music fans, a power-tripping Malvolio, and plenty of mistaken identities, and you’ve got a hilarious, high-energy romp full of heart, hijinks, and hairspray. Shakespeare meets mixtapes in this totally tubular take on love, gender, and finding your true self. Location: Prebys Stage The SDSU School of Theatre, Television, and Film on Instagram

What is Puscifer ? It’s a band of three creative confidants, namely Mat Mitchell, Carina Round, and Maynard James Keenan. It’s a vehicle for sonic and visual storytelling on stages worldwide and on screen through videos, animation, content, and more. It’s indelibly left its mark everywhere, releasing a series of acclaimed albums, selling out famed venues, probing the lineups of Coachella, Bonnaroo, and other festivals, and even curating their own touring festival, Sessanta. They’ve provided what was essentially the soundtrack to the first season of “Yellowstone,” and their albums regularly land on the top 30 of the Billboard Top 200. They’ve caused a ruckus on late-night television, with appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the “The Late Show.” At the same time, Puscifer has welcomed a revolving door of collaborators, from musicians like Greg Edwards, Gunnar Olsen, and Sarah Jones to remixers including Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Phantogram, and Sir Mix-A-Lot, and even actors such as Bob Odenkirk and Milla Jovovich. It’s also a universe for the (mis)adventures of original characters: Billy D, (his wife) Hildy Berger, Major Douche, and Special Agent Dick Merkin, It’s a 21st-century freak show where anything goes, everyone is welcome, and nothing is off-limits.

In an era of rising political polarization and identity-driven conflict, how resistant is the United States to the threat of genocidal violence? What lessons can be drawn from societies that have experienced genocide—and how might deep-rooted cultural narratives around honor, rage, and revenge make even established democracies vulnerable? Join the San Diego World Affairs Council (SDWAC) and the SDSU Centers for Human Rights and War and Society for a vital conversation with Professor Alexander Hinton, a leading expert on genocide, cultural violence, and white power movements in the United States. Hinton is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, and UNESCO Chair on Genocide Prevention at Rutgers University. His recent book, "It Can Happen Here: White Power and the Rising Threat of Genocide in the US", explores how seemingly stable societies can spiral into violence. The discussion will be moderated by Grace Cheng, Founding Director of the Center for Human Rights at the College of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University. This event confronts difficult but necessary questions about the fragility of democracy, the power of ideology, and the warning signs we must not ignore. Free to the public, pre-registration required. Visit: https://sdwac.org/event-6263991 San Diego World Affairs Council on Instagram and Facebook
