If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis, digital distraction, and social fragmentation. Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

Boris Eifman’s Pygmalion Effect reveals the celebrated choreographer at his most psychologically sharp, fusing virtuosic classical technique with visceral emotional power. Inspired by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, this production reimagines the story as a dark, modern ballet about artistic control and human transformation. Eifman’s distinctive movement language captures the volatile bond between a brilliant, domineering creator and the young woman he reshapes, exposing desire, manipulation, and vulnerability beneath the polish. Dramatically charged and emotionally rich, the ballet exemplifies Eifman’s gift for turning narrative dance into gripping psychological theater.
