‘Let Me Down Easy’ blends pathos, politics

Berkeley repertory theater/courtesy

When Anna Deavere Smith walks into a room, you shut up and listen. Not due to any force, but only out of sheer seduction. Physically, she intim-idates and enthralls with her com-mand of the stage. Emotionally, she wrests control over both our tears and our laughter. And, intellectually, there is hardly a parallel for her seamless blend of both the political and the psychological. As an actress, play-wright and professor, Anna Deavere Smith is a lot of things. And, in her latest conception, “Let Me Down Easy,” she is ten plus people. ...

CorreCtionsMonday’s article “A professor’s passion” incorrectly stated that David Wet-

zel’s second book is a novel titled “A Duel of Giants.” In fact, the second book is a nonfiction work titled “A Duel of Nations.” The article also stated that David Wetzel obtained his master’s degree from the University of Chicago in 1976. In fact, he received his doctorate from the University of Chicago at that time.

The Daily Californian regrets the errors.

A fire broke out late Monday night at Ashby Lumber when rags used for wood-staining caught on fire.

At approximately 9:37 p.m., by-standers from a business across the street noticed that a fire had broken out at 824 Ashby Ave. The bystanders then called the Berkeley Fire Department,

which responded by sending three en-gines, one truck, one paramedic unit and a battalion chief to the address.

Gilbert Dong, the department’s deputy fire chief, said that when the department arrived, the fire was coming from a stack of plastic buck-ets next to the building. ...

Senator to introduce bill to ban death penalty

State Senator Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, plans to introduce a bill next week that would ban the death penalty in the state of California.

If passed by the state Legislature, the bill would place the issue on the November 2012 ballot. If subse-quently approved by voters, it would replace the existing death penalty with a sentence of life in prison with-out the possibility of parole, accord-ing to Hancock’s spokesperson Larry Levin.

Even if the bill is passed by the Leg-islature, a majority of voters must ap-prove it before it can become law.

According to a study authored by

By Jalal Buckley | Staffjbuckley@dailycal.org

U.S. 9th Circuit Judge Arthur Alarcon and Loyola Law School professor Pau-la Mitchell, California taxpayers have spent more than $4 billion on capital punishment since it was reinstated in 1978.

In addition to high costs, moral considerations supporting the abolish-ment of the death penalty include the possibility of innocent people being ex-ecuted, Levin said, citing 13 death row inmates in Illinois who were found to be innocent of the crimes for which they had been convicted.

Elisabeth Semel, director of the Death Penalty Clinic at the Berkeley School of Law, said application of the death penalty has likewise been dis-criminatory against minorities and undermines impartiality in the justice system.

“There are many problems with its application, particular-ly how it discriminates against people of color,” Semel said. “It doesn’t prevent crime at the front end, in terms of stopping crimes from happening, it doesn’t provide for re-habilitation, it doesn’t deter crime, it doesn’t work.”

According to Levin, Hancock is con-fident that her bill has a good chance of passing.

Richard Dieter, executive direc-tor of the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit organization that provides information on the death penalty, said keeping the death pen-alty in place will continue to consume taxpayer money without a significant

California farmers can save money on their pollinated crops and ensure a more ecologically sustainable food supply, which could eventually reduce prices of pollen-based produce, if they rely less on renting honey bees, accord-ing to a recent study by researchers at UC Berkeley.

The study, published in the June is-sue of the journal Rangelands, valued wild, free-living bee species to garner between $937 million and $2.4 billion per year for California agriculture. The study said the value of the bee species could accrue an even greater estimate if farmers relied less on renting honey

Jonathan Tam expands on the importance of wild bees to farmers throughout California.

Study encourages farmers to rely less on rented bees

bees to pollinate their crops, includ-ing such produce as almonds, cherries, apples, cantaloupes and blueberries.

Claire Kremen, UC Berkeley associ-ate professor of environmental science, policy and management and senior au-thor of the study, said these estimated economic values are a composite of what growers currently receive for free.

The study estimated that wild bees, primarily found in California range-lands, account for 35-39 percent of all pollination services to the state’s crops. For the remaining approximately 60

percent, farmers rely on rented honey bees that usually come from Florida.

One-third of Californian agricul-tural revenue comes from — which represents $11.7 billion dollars a year, according to the study — comes from pollinator-dependent crops.

“Since 2006, there has been a defi-nite increase in honey bee colony loss-es after winter from 15 percent to 30 percent, which is a great jump in the United States,” Kremen said.

Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer, a post-doctoral researcher in the ESPM de-partment and another author of the study, said relying mainly on rented honey bees, which many farmers cur-rently do, is not a very sustainable op-tion, especially in the future.

3OPINION & News The Daily Californian

Pilar Huerta phuerta@dailycal.org

Glancing at my ticket, the train conductor dubbed me “Miss Berkeley” for the

remaining 1.5 hours on the Amtrak.“I thought you kids were out for

the summer,” he told me as he stamped my ticket set on top of my library book. “Yeah, well I was out too much during the semester,” I replied, hoping that he would appre-ciate my self-effacing wordplay.

Catching that I was a proponent of leisure time and weekend adventures, the train conductor began recruiting me to join his crew on the Amtrak, where I could make a lot of money without hustling for a degree.

Though I told him that I’d join his crew if only to forget “Miss Berkeley,” he shrugged and said with a smirk, “We do make a lot more money than you think.” In spite of his professional nod and utterance of my Amtrak nickname, he left me cold with the frost of status quo.

I am a young female college stu-dent labeled with interchangeable minority lines connected to the prestige of the University of California, Berkeley. Prestige — con-densing the depth of honor to shal-low entitlement and pretense.

Though shame is the last thing I feel about getting into college, pride isn’t the first. I didn’t get into college because of my rational, forward-thinking behavior as an angsty, bright-eyed teenager. It was a fluke, forces of nature that had nurtured me into the relentless nerd I am today.

Discipline was nothing more than “the chokey” room in “Matilda.” It was a scare-tactic to box me in and make me explode later. It repressed my impulsive childish desires, desires I could only learn how to control myself if I was allowed to grow.

I was a B-student until the public education system dubbed me “above average,” even when English and Christian Living were my only real achievements in the Catholic sanc-tuaries that bounded my education in the Philippines.

The relish I found in reading har-bored my development into a

full-fledged bookworm, just the way others find comfort in people, food or music. If any of these other things lightened daily burdens the way someone else’s stream of con-sciousness seemed to set me afloat, then I probably wouldn’t have read as much as I did.

Finishing books inadvertently became my own disciplinary tool. Inspired to read just as much as my mother, my reading comprehension and writing skills were mere byprod-ucts of growing up.

Though willpower and discipline seem to be keys for financial stability, one’s environment and resources are often taken into account only as an afterthought. Instead, individuals are praised for their hard work and inge-nuity as precursors to their success.

California’s current budget crisis is paving the road to success into a much narrower one that only cul-tured and experienced individuals are entitled to follow. As the educa-tion system’s regimen of reward-or-punishment leaves individuals unin-spired to pick up a book, the possi-ble closure of 14 Oakland libraries will save the city money at the cost of developing human capital.

Under a proposed budget, only four libraries in the city’s more

affluent neighborhoods will be open three days a week, leaving those struggling to learn with even fewer resources to “overcome” financial boundaries and pursue interests beyond academics but those of self-improvement.

Oakland city officials, along with other vote-deprived politicians, are obligated to cut expenditures but not at a socially optimal level. Although the money saved from closing librar-ies and reducing their funding will lead to short-term economic stability, it is not sustainable in the long run.

Instead of checking out the corner library while waiting for the bus to come, I’ll smoke a pack of cigarettes instead. And if I don’t have enough cigarettes to kill time, I’ll just go to the corner liquor store. Maybe I’ll meet some cool new people — an older crowd that knows the good life — people who really get it.

Already bombarded by TV shows, ads and commercialized music to sat-isfy impulses as if there’s no tomor-row, the death of Oakland’s libraries seem to guarantee just that. As long as today goes by without any abstrac-tions distracting me from getting my daily bread, then nothing else mat-ters. Why start reading a book today when tomorrow is already laid out by hourly wages?

Though the train conductor showed me that college was nonessential to financial stability, I wanted to con-vince him that securing finances was unrelated to “Miss Berkeley.” I am privileged to be in a position where earning above the national income median is not a goal of mine. While taxpayers and my family have invested in my education, profit-maximization is secondary when the effects of shut-ting down libraries are overlooked to save money.

bill: Abolition of capital punishment could save state money

contribution to safety. In the public eye, Dieter said, the financial cost of maintaining the status quo may convince enough people to vote to re-move it altogether.

“I think the public is increasingly aware of the expense of the death penalty, of other programs being cut and also that the death penalty exists only on paper in California,” he said. “There have been no executions for over five years, and there’s very little chance that the 700 people on death row will be executed.”

Berkeley City Councilmember Kriss Worthington said he supports the abo-lition of the death penalty.

“My office wrote a council item for July 19, and the City Council will vote on whether or not to support Han-cock’s bill,” Worthington said.

Moreover, Worthington pointed to the City Council’s involvement with this issue in the past. On Dec. 8, 2008, the council voted on a resolution to end death sentences, estimating that about $14.3 million had been spent

on executions since 2000 in Alameda County alone.

“From an ethical point of view, I don’t believe in killing people, so I’m against the death penalty, but it’s more likely that people will vote for a moratorium on the death penalty based on the drastic eco-nomic impacts,” Worthington said. “I don’t think a majority of the Legislature is going to decide for ethical reasons they don’t believe in killing criminals, but based on the financial reasons, they may decide to abandon it.”

athletics: Issue has sparked controversy since 1981

fledgling athletics programs that were hit hard by increasing department def-icits resulting from low revenues and high expenditures.

“There is this presumption that the UC relies on state funds to support ... intercollegiate athletics,” Lenz said. “This is truly a non-issue in my opin-ion, and I am not clear why this lan-guage had to be placed into the budget. I understand why they would place it in if someone had identified or if we had identified an abuse or if the state audi-tor had found an abuse. But there was no indication we violated anything.”

Lawmakers’ decision to add such language to the proposed state bud-get continues to bring the debate over funding for intercollegiate athletics to the forefront of a long-standing con-troversy between the UC, its campuses and its campus affiliates.

In May 1981, a UC policy called BUS-72 was passed that stated that auxiliary enterprises “are those non-instruction-al services provided to individuals, pri-marily students, in return for specific user charges. These services include student housing, intercollegiate ath-letics, food services, and parking. Aux-iliary Enterprises are self-supporting and are not subsidized by the state.” At the time, this included, among other programs, UC Berkeley’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.

But roughly a year and a half ago, the issue of whether the department was an auxiliary and whether state moneys were flowing to campus ath-letic teams was brought forth by Brian Barsky, UC Berkeley professor of com-

puter science.Barsky, who had been looking over

changes to former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2009-2010 state budget, noticed a difference in fi-nances that he thought could possibly show that taxpayers’ money had been put toward UC funding for financially struggling athletics teams — including some teams at UC Berkeley — at the expense of academics.

Concerned there was a loophole in how discretionary funds from the state were being used to support campus de-partments, Barsky decided to author a resolution with seven other campus colleagues that was passed by the cam-pus division of the Academic Senate on Nov. 5, 2009, that recommended, among other suggestions, “the Chan-cellor put Intercollegiate Athletics on its intended self-supporting basis,” including removing “all funding of Intercollegiate Athletics from campus subsidies immediately.”

Almost a year later, two final reports released from two separate campus groups — the Chancellor’s Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics and the Ac-ademic Senate Task Force on Intercol-legiate Athletics — both detailed that the department was in serious finan-cial strife and that measures needed to be taken to remedy the department’s reliance on campus support, which totaled about $13.7 million during the 2008-09 fiscal year.

On Dec. 16, 2010, UCOP rescinded the original BUS-72 policy and re-placed it with a new BUS-72 policy, which redefined auxiliary enterprises

and removed the term “intercollegiate athletics” from the list of auxiliary groups.

Also, intercollegiate athletics for cer-tain campuses — such as UC Berkeley and UCLA — were dubbed “hybrid auxiliaries” because they possessed both auxiliary enterprise and student services characteristics, according to Lenz.

“There was no announcement and no discussion with anyone when this policy was rescinded,” Barsky said in regard to the change. “There were no details on who did this and why.”

With clarification on the definition of the campus’s athletics department still unclear to Barsky and others, including members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, union members set out to speak with and to lobby state legislators to add to Brown’s budget that no matter what intercollegiate athletics was, state funds could not be used to support any athletics programs.

“They’re not following rules about how the money you have is supposed to be distributed while at the same time they tell us there is no money,” said Lake-sha Harrison, president of AFSCME Lo-cal 3299. “It’s about making sure there’s accountability in the way the UC uses its funding. None of us agree that there should be funding cuts to the UC, but we do need to make sure what money there is is being spent properly.”

permit: Southside Plan may push proposal forward

in getting a permit to have his business operate all day, at some point it will be decided whether all storefronts on Telegraph are able to remain open past 2 a.m.

“My understanding is that people who live in the im-mediate vicinity around campus have a particular inter-est for having things open later,” said City Councilmem-ber Kriss Worthington. “It will be an interesting trial balloon. The fact that (Becker) is willing to try it out and be successful — it would be more successful if more busi-nesses tried this extension of business hours.”

Worthington said he believes that the council’s in-volvement with the Southside Plan — which proposes to abolish the quota on Telegraph’s full-service restaurants while maintaining the other quotas to encourage small business establishments — will push positive activity for the proposal.

“During discussions of the Southside Plan, many stu-dents came out to our meeting saying ‘we want busi-nesses open for later hours,’” Worthington said.

UC may raise summer fees for nonresidentshigher educatioN

Carryn Barker reads her notes in Pimentel Hall. Barker and other nonresidents could be affected by certain summer fee increases.taryn erhardt/senior staff

A long-standing state subsidy allowing nonresident University of California students to pay resident fees for summer courses may be in jeopardy as uncertainty about California’s state budget continues to loom.

For nearly a decade, nonresidents have been spared the out-of-state and international tuition fees that students are normally subject to pay during the school year. But as pos-sible further cuts to the UC continue to be discussed, these fees might be reinstituted or reformed.

In 2001, nonresident fees for UC Summer Sessions were eliminated in hopes of attracting more out-of-state and international students to attend a UC campus during the summer.

As a result of the tuition changes — in addition to changes to curriculum, teaching staff and publicity — atten-dance at UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC Santa Barbara Summer Sessions in-creased by 56 percent that year while the other five UC campuses saw a 26 percent increase. These percentages did not include UC Merced, which was not instated until fall 2005.

By True Shields | Stafftshields@dailycal.org

In accordance with this data, a task force composed of university of-ficials recommended in 2008 that UC Berkeley’s summer nonresident fees be kept constant. The task force sug-gested that increasing nonresidents’ fees might “slow down their progress to a degree” or cost millions in lost revenue.

UC spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez said despite summer classes’ impor-tant role helping more students finish their degrees in four years, they are still subject to change because of bud-get concerns.

“We want to incentivize students to take summer sessions so that it frees up space during the year,” he said. “But as (the UC has) said before, just in terms of what kind of budget we end up with, all options have to be on the table.”

During the academic year, nonresi-dents pay a supplemental fee to attend a UC campus — about $23,000 more per year than California residents.

But for summer classes, a uniform price of $343 per unit means that for students taking a 12-unit schedule, both residents and nonresidents will find themselves paying about $4,200 for summer tuition at UC Berkeley.

Motivations to bump up nonresi-dent admissions can be attributed in part to a UC Commission on the Fu-

ture report presented to the UC Board of Regents in December 2010, which showed that a 1 percent increase in out-of-state attendance could gener-ate nearly $1 million in additional revenue.

Summer Sessions are not the only area in which the UC is hoping to in-crease out-of-state and international resident attendance. In total, the UC’s nine campuses admitted 4,100 more students for the 2011-12 year than in 2010-11 — for a total of 72,432 — with 3,600 of those spots going to interna-tional or out-of-state students.

About one-third of students accept-ed to UC Berkeley this fall are nonresi-dents, nearly double last year’s figures.

According to Hans Johnson, a se-nior policy fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, the UC will continue to attempt to increase non-resident attendance.

Johnson added that regardless of budget cuts, the UC will continue to tout its status as a top research uni-versity to offset a possible drop in at-tendance as a result of fee increases.

“The university is looking for new sources of funds wherever they can find them, and if they can still attract students from out of state (while rais-ing summer fees), there is no doubt there is money being left on the table,” he said.

Lynn Huntsinger, UC Berkeley professor of rangeland management, said she attributes the common rent-ing of honey bees in the state to a farmer’s propensity for control and certainty that their crops will be fer-tilized rather than hoping the free, wild-living bees will pollinate at the right times and to the needed de-gree.

“Rented pollinators do give farm-ers a real certainty, but they cannot depend on just one species of bee,” Huntsinger said. “This is a false sense of security, because you need the strength that a diversified pollinat-ing species can acquire, which can be supplied from the bee species found in nearby rangelands.”

Large monoculture farms often overwhelm the capacity of naturally

occurring pollinator species to pro-vide these services and therefore rely highly on outsourcing their pollinat-ing services, the study states. These monoculture farms of pollinator-de-pendent species usually solely grow either almonds, melons, blueberries or apples, which creates a huge de-mand for pollinators during a short time interval.

Kremen said the way current in-dustrialized monoculture farms oper-ate will not be a sustainable practice because it unfavorably impacts the environment.

According to the study, the practice that adversely affects the environment is an industrialized monoculture’s of-ten scant diversity of crops, which the pollinators, including the bee species, need.

bees: Lack of crop diversity hurts bees and environment

“Pollinators will get sick if they only get one food — it’s like people will get sick too if they constantly eat Big Macs,” Kremen said.

To ensure the sustainability and diversification of pollinated crops, Huntsinger said she believes people should understand that rangelands owned mainly by ranchers work in synergy with farmers to support these free wild-living bee species.

Chaplin-Kramer said farmers and ranchers currently do not recognize how important their relationship is to each other in terms of ecosystem services.

“About 35 percent of food produc-tion depends on the world pollina-tors, and those foods would not exist without these pollinators,” Kremen said.

hops added and is replaced with a yeast culture that produces smooth, crisp and lightweight adjectives — life-less, in another word. The Innovation Director at Carlsberg, Jeanette Elgaard Carlsson, has mentioned that the beer appeals to design-conscious women whose purchases may depend on how the beverage coordinates with their ap-pearance. Taste and price are second-ary concerns while fashionable design is paramount.

This female-focused marketing strategy splits into two confusing direc-tions. For the worse, it offends my love of beer, suggesting that my purchasing power and discriminating taste are coercible by insubstantial style and su-perficial design. However, the approach does offer a slight deviation from other established gender-based marketing strategies, particularly with beer. The targeted demographic may be women, but rather than an evoking women’s values through explicitly heterosexual or otherwise gendered scenarios, the advertisements for Copenhagen 56°N are devoid of human sexuality (or, as much as this is possible, just bear with me). The strategy is remarkably consistent in that the commercials are

also devoted entirely to design without any human substance: there is no man claiming to be the most interesting in the world, no bikini-clad volleyball players.

The commercial aligns the bever-age with the city of Copenhagen as a place constantly refreshed by new and unpredictable ideas. Whether this less obvious appeal to women is preferable, or less damaging, to an iteration on the question “what do women want?” in advertising is still unclear to me. I hate being seen as a predictable consumer, but I’m still susceptible to market-ing that has spent incomprehensible amounts of time and money research-ing my cohort’s consumerist behaviors. Designing without gender in mind might liberate the product’s function to multiple uses while also depersonal-izing it. So what should be promoted here? Pure utility without personality? Hyper-gendered props of social accep-tance? Beer for beer-haters that also looks nice? Copenhagen 56°N is an experimentation of advertising values, if not a safely uncontroversial one. And it does look real nice clutched in my gigantic meaty paws.

matt and kim: The couple’s charisma livened and charmed the crowd

trio were still a saucy appetizer to the punchy main course.

Unfortunately, the meal would have to wait. In between sets, the crowd was treated to the DJ-stylings of Autobot, who makes up one-half of Chicago-based Flosstradamus. His sets were far from treats though, as his beats produced mere hip-sways from the crowd on both of his drawn-out sets. With the exception of a bomb-ass beat sampling the opening cry heard on “The Lion King,” the DJ’s mumbled shout-outs and attempts to bolster the bored crowd fell on deaf ears.

Like summer school, Autobot’s set eventually came to a much-appreciated end. With the chorus of the energetic “Empire State of Mind” leading them out, the Brooklyn duo finally pounced out onto stage with fans screaming and jumping with satisfaction. Wasting no time, the show kicked off with Side-walks opener “Block After Block,” with Matt’s electrifying keyboard jamming and Kim’s drum bashes amplifying the wave of jumping fans. The song’s finale led to an eruption of applause and screams as the duo graciously greeted and thanked their fans for coming out that night.

The pair bombarded the crowd with upbeat vibes like the synth-driven “Red

Paint” and fan-favorite “Good Ol’ Fash-ion Nightmare.” While occasionally allowing the crowd to catch its breath with the easygoing melodies of songs like “Northeast,” the break never lasted long as the duo dived into their next adrenaline-fueled explosion.

It’s rare to see a band have as much fun onstage as Matt and Kim. Whether Kim is on her drums shouting, Matt hopping around his keyboard or the smiles that never left their faces, the duo always appeared to enjoy them-selves. From making the audience create a rainstorm of balloons to Kim’s famous crowd-surfing booty dance, the astounding antics never ceased. Alas, the freakalicous team had to run out of energy at some point. Closing with the heavy-hitting “Cameras” and their break-out single “Daylight,” the duo gracefully left the stage. Having already played most of their hits, their encore consisted of Kim pounding a marching band bass drum in rhythm to the duo’s songs played over the PA as Matt sang along with the help of the crowd. While this impromptu encore was a bit hackneyed and disappointing, it did not diminish Matt and Kim’s play-ful fan interaction and jubilant passion that made for one hell of an — here it is — energetic performance.

two rooms, furnished like a child-hood diorama. The small five-person cast is slapped with individual color schemes and sticks with them through-out their subtle costume alterations. Together, these factors coalesce, build-ing up the production’s eerie ambiance.

The plot is set in a nondescript household that plays up all the stereo-types associated with old-fashioned suburbia, a characteristic that becomes glaringly apparent within the first few minutes. Uplifting melodies soar as mother and daughter move in syn-chronized motions, a pair of beaming, blond robots dressed in pastel as they eagerly dote on the father, head of the patriarchal family. Mother (Madeline H.D. Brown) and Grete (Megan Trout) prepare the dining table, offer cheek-kisses to Father (Allen McKelvey) and continue with their duties until Grete stumbles across a pair of shoes, casually left behind. The lights dim, the music heightens and it’s clear that something has shifted, though the slippers’ signifi-cance is hopelessly lost on the audience.

Gregor (Alexander Crowther), son of the Samsa family, has left his shoes behind. Which means that he is still at home. His family, ever so devoted to Gregor’s money-making ways, try their best to coerce him out of hiding. But when they do, they almost wish they hadn’t as they discover that Gregor has turned from an obedient son to a gro-tesque creepy-crawly. Horror solidifies into alienation as the Samsa clan opts for Gregor’s imprisonment, locking him in his room and viewing him as a legitimate insect rather than a son.

With a plot that may be renowned but is somewhat lacking in excite-ment, this particular adaptation surprises in its ingenious stage setup. Gregor’s bedroom is slanted at a sharp angle — bed, dresser and all. The limber Crowther is a delight to watch as he climbs over bars and squeezes around the crooked stairs.

The well-worn storyline is addition-ally improved upon by the produc-tion’s skilled actors, who possess uncanny self-identifications with their characters, resulting in doses of drama that were delivered with a sincere touch. Though Brown and McKelvey easily pull of their roles as the hysterical housewife and the gruff authority figure, respectively, it is Trout who slowly becomes the star of the show. Grete is torn between her sibling bond with Gregor and her desire for independence, epitomized at crucial moment she is forced to choose between feeding her brother or pursuing a romance with pomp-ous suitor Mr. Fischer (Patrick Jones). Trout carefully engineers her role with stiff, puppetlike motions and a ner-vousness that becomes endearing.

Kafka throws around his fair share of loaded themes in his novella — greed, isolation, prejudice, insert-coming-of-age-issue here. But Aurora Theater’s production takes these rather depressing topics and trans-forms them into an easily accessible story that’s part-charming and part-horrifying but ultimately thought-provoking.

Mark Jackson takes the uni-versal theme of alienation to a new level with his latest

production, “Metamorphosis.” Adapted for the stage from Franz Kafka’s notable short story, Aurora Theater Company’s representation of one man’s troubled transformation is both delightful and twisted. The jokes are aplenty and the cruelties run amok, delivering a performance that sheds new light on a timeless fable.

The worldwide fame of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” works in the play’s favor. Its simple yet intriguing storyline resonates with the audience — a man wakes up one morning only to find that he has morphed into an insect. Staying true to the concept, Jackson’s “Metamorphosis” is equally minimalist, devoid of fuss and frills. There are no set changes, as the entire course of the 75-minute performance takes place in

The Danish brewing company Carlsberg introduced earlier this year a new beer called

“Copenhagen 56°N.” The beer is a German pilsner, with a light yellow hue and a taste like champagne from a rot-ting juice box. The beer has been mar-keted as relentlessly hip — an alcoholic accessory to a well-designed image and a world-class city. According to a Danish beer guide, 56°N is for “modern women and men” and is inspired by a vision of “Copenhagen as an interna-tional fashion and design city.”

I first encountered this terrible beer at an opening party for an architec-ture exhibition. Arranged in clustered nodes around the room were dozens of bottles of Copenhagen 56°N, along with structurally impressive hors d’œuvre and a mellow atmosphere of upbeat electronic music. Everything is free

DETOuRof course, with an open bent towards advertising and publicity: the beer dominates the scene and becomes a discussion point.

But the beverage is less concerned with taste and instead markets itself deliberately as an object of design. It’s a beer meant to appeal to a demographic that doesn’t like beer — it can taste like ass, but damn does it look pretty. The label screams a minimalist Scandina-vian design conceit and features the Carlsberg name without alluding to the brewery’s recognizable symbols (green bottles, an elephant). It’s a classy prod-uct, a beer alternative to white wine or champagne. The minimalism applied to the external packaging is amplified inside with an impoverished beer — an extremely dry, sweet and flat beverage that’s more look than content.

I am not a beer critic. Sometimes I wish I were so that the preceding sentences might carry more weight. But what really irks me about this beer is its advertisement as an accessory rather than a consumable. The beverage and bottle are designed as props in a fabulously designed lifestyle of fashion and youth, corroborated by Carlsberg’s sponsorship of the Danish Fashion Awards as a setting to deploy Copen-hagen 56°N. What seems to float to the surface of this urine-colored, bottom-fermenting lager is an unabashed focus on style over substance and an implicit targeting towards female drinkers.

After minimal digging through the Carlsberg marketing department’s web-site, my suspicions were immediately confirmed. Copenhagen 56°N is direct-ed extensively at women who generally dislike the bitter taste of beer. Research has then developed a beer that has no

There’s a reason that the word “energetic” is constantly used to describe Matt and Kim shows:

They embody the definition with a crazed ferocity. It’s mind-boggling how two people can transform an audience of a thousand from mellow attendees to frenzied fans. With nothing more than a drum set, keyboard and two mics, the electropop hyper-couple of Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino brought the house down at the Fox Theatre last Saturday with their infectious charm and dance-inducing grooves.

The Fox’s ability to simultaneously seem spacious and intimate allowed for all types of fan to enjoy Matt and Kim’s ecstatic showcase. Whether you’re a rambunctious fanboy who loves to get rowdy on the floor or a mere head-nod-der who would rather chill by the tables or railings, the Fox manages to accom-modate most types of concert-goers. However, the majority chose the floor for this particular show because, c’mon, the spunky duo know how to throw a party — or concert.

ALBUM REVIEWS

Call me a cynic, but I tend to shy away from saccharine, fun-sized pop hits. You know, those

tracks that fill up radio airwaves with their juvenile rhymes, overuse of “baby”and “your lips” and disgustingly generic chords. But surprisingly, I found myself warming up to Matt Nathanson’s Modern Love, which can easily be filed into the aforementioned category. Perhaps it’s the incredible vivacity of the feel-good melodies or his smooth vocals painting snapshots of summer love. Whatever reasoning went behind the production, Modern Love is a charming execution that will melt even the hardest of hearts. Love is a string that ties all the little

Matt Nathanson MODERN LOVE

[Vanguard]

pop gems into one dazzling, hopeless-ly buoyant package. Nathanson croons and sighs his way throughout Modern Love, exploring every nook and cranny of relationships. Of course, this proves to be hard to swallow if you’re a bitter old realist, but his incorporation of different styles keeps listeners entertained, regardless of their investment in the subject matter. From the country twangs of Jennifer Nettles-aided “Run” to the dreamy quietness of “Kiss Quick” to the edgy, electric guitar-heavy “Mercy,” there is never a dull moment. Modern Love captures your atten-tion, plain and simple. Nathanson delves into a wider range of emotions. Admittedly, several tracks still border on roll-your-eyes cliched, but Modern Love brims with blithe optimism, yet its innovative hooks keeps it from coming off as much too bubbly. Take the sunny “Faster,” for example. The track is the perfect soundtrack for a summer fling. It showcases Nathanson’s uncanny ability to turn a common experience into something that is wildly catchy but subtly ele-gant, ensuring that Modern Love’s tired subject matter can still delight in the most uplifting way possible.

Bon Iver, founded by vocal-ist and mastermind Justin Vernon, has issued their big

statement with their latest, Bon Iver. Coming in with stuttering electric gui-tar and military drums, “Perth” opens Bon Iver as a cinematic statement. The album is structured as a road trip, as the majority of the songs are named after places, including “Minnesota, WI” and “Hinnom, TX.” Banjo, sway-ing horns and ornamental percussion provide the album’s sonic palette, best recalling Sufjan Stevens as well as a latter-day Crosby, Stills and Nash. The geographical fascination along with the off-kilter instrumentation pulls the listener through a musical tapestry of Americana.

Bon IverBON IVER

[Jagjaguwar]

Imbued with the vocal magic that propelled Kanye West’s “Lost in the World” to such great heights, Bon Iver’s strength definitely lies in the vocals, rendered beautifully by Vernon. Ranging from a multilayered, ghostly tenor to dark, rich baritone, it’s Vernon’s vocals that pull the listener through the album as well as mak-ing the album a unified statement. “Calgary” reaches hymnal heights, all a capella vocals before being joined by rolling drums and brushed acoustic guitar. Such adventurous instrumen-tation and wide-ranging vocal variety yields mostly positive results, with a few missteps. Album closer “Beth/Rest” unfortu-nately roams into schlocky ’80s terri-tory, with electric guitars straight out of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” Key track “Holocene” lays jazzy horns on finger-picked guitar, creating an aural ambiance emblematic Bon Iver. That musical outlook is the goal and theme of the entire album, with Bon Iver looking to take traditional folk tunes and put into them a sense of the natural world. The result is an album that breathes as well as soothes. — Philip Julius

FULLTHROTTLE

Pixar’s latest, ‘Cars 2,’ manages to showcase a stylized spy film homage while maintaining

their trademark attention to detail.

It’s already become redundant to say that Pixar exhibits the gold standard in terms of animation. Over the past 25 years,

the Emeryville-based studio has earned 26 Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes and the universal admiration of children and adults alike. They’ve managed to maintain a winning formula that combines the naivete of childhood innocence with deeper, more profound and political messages. However, lately, it seems Pixar has been a bit more dour than usual. Everyone knows what I’m talking about. That montage from “Up,” the melancholic parting of Andy and Woody in “Toy Story 3.” Tears have almost

overshadowed the laughter in Pixar films as of late. But, with the release of “Cars 2,” the lighthearted adventure has returned, for better or worse.

In the same vein of the “Toy Story” sequels, “Cars 2” returns us to a famil-

iar and nostalgic scene: the charm-ingly quaint Radiator Springs. The victorious protagonist Lightning

McQueen (Owen Wilson) has just returned off a series of

winning races, but left behind, almost literally in the dust, is

the endearing bumpkin Mater (Larry the Cable Guy).

Ostensibly, the film is grounded in the tenuous friendship between this un-

likely duo — the prince (Mc-Queen) and the pauper (Mater)

— and follows

its troubled trajectory as McQueen competes in the World Grand Prix. This international scale, ranging from the towering skyscrapers of Tokyo to the pub-lined streets of London, blows the small-town bubble of the original “Cars” out of the water. Quite literally.

If the sweeping international vistas (in 3-D no less!) and amusing antics of Mater weren’t enough to whet one’s palette, there’s a tertiary plot involving the enviably slick Finn McMissle (Michael Caine) as a Brit-ish Intelligence officer sent to uncover the dirty secrets under the hood of a criminal car syndicate. With cutting-edge spy cameras and machine guns that jut out of fenders, the James Bond homage is undeniably the most effective element of the film. As with the nod to the 1963’s prison-break class in “Toy Story 3,” it’s clear that Pixar is capable of not only crafting masterful films but appropriating them flawlessly as well. The music is swift and aggressive. The henchmen are the perfect mix of grimy exterior and blind belligerence. But, as is evident from the adjectives, there’s something inherently violent about the spy movie that may not be suitable for the film’s target audience: children.

Within the first 10 minutes, there’s enough explosive power in “Cars 2” to rival any Michael Bay picture. Coupled with the ubiquitous use of mechanized weaponry, the excessive use of brute violence is at once visu-ally arresting but perhaps too assaulting for the normally more placid Pixar. It’s a classic style-over-substance dilemma. Instead of character depth, we get carburetors on fire. Instead of an emotionally driven climax, we get a somewhat sloppily tacked-on moment of self-doubt for Mater. Instead of catharsis, there’s only cars with fancy exteriors that try to hide a messy interior. But, oh how fancy those cars are. Despite a significant lack of the usual Pixar pathos, the adrenaline ride that “Cars 2” provides is diffi-cult to find fault with. It’s not the studio’s best, but even without all of their pistons firing, Pixar is guaranteed quality. Jessica Pena is the assistant arts editor.
