In Leni’s Last Lament, which swept top awards at its one-night-only United Solo Festival in Manhattan last March, Hitler’s controversial filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl, poses as a misunderstood victim as she attempts to justify and sanitize her notorious past. Set in Leni’s editing room and presented as a macabre, comic cabaret with a live accordionist — the play is a wild ironic ride full of hard-to-believe insights into this provocative figure as she reassembles her life to create a more palatable portrait. Leni’s Last Lament opens on March 15 for Women’s History Month at The Invisible Dog Arts Center in Cobble Hill.

The Invisible Dog is thrilled to welcome the NY Grand Tea Ceremony 2023 for a series of tea ceremonies and talks.

How much do you know about matcha? Matcha originated in China about 1000 years ago, traveled to Japan, and has reached popularity worldwide today - especially right here in New York City. Chanoyu 茶の湯 is the ritual preparation of matcha which is rooted in Zen Buddhist philosophy and seeks to unify nature, objects, and people within a once-in-a-lifetime moment. As the interest in matcha spreads, the number of chanoyu enthusiasts also increases.

Chanoyu Week NYC 2023 brings together chanoyu practitioners in the New York area for this special occasion at The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn to share our own unique way of tea. Please enjoy our heartfelt tea in the beautiful garden setting.

Wander / Roxane Revon

The Invisible Dog Art Center is thrilled to invite you to reveal of Roxanne Revon’s outdoor installation and celebrate the final day of Camille de Galbert’s Growing Matter.

Wander is an invitation to observe the growth of underground plant organisms as well as our memories. The ground constellation of glowing root patterns guides us through the artist's personal melange of real and imaginary dear places (from Tunisia to Provence to Brooklyn) forming nomadic routes of dreams and memories.
As microbiologist Lynn Margulis stated in the gaia hypothesis: “the sum of all life on the planet behaves as a single integrated physiological system. The traditionally viewed 'inert environment' is highly active, forming an integral part of the Gaian system.” Revon adds her memories to this integrated system, forming hypnotic patterns that remind us of the strength, interconnectivity and cross vibrations of all life on earth.
