“If you have closed your senses upon silk, light, color, odor, character, temperament, you must be by now completely shriveled up. There are so many minor senses, all running like tributaries into the mainstream of sex, nourishing it. Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy. “Anais Nin.
Let your erotica free this Valentine’s.
Eat, drink, and listen to the smooth, sensual voices of faceless beings whispering stories of love, passion and obsession in a darkened room lit only by soft colored lights. With the wine, the glow, and a lover by your side, what else could be a more perfect date this Valentine’s…other than what happens once you get home…if you make it that far! The daring shadow puppetry show returns! (18+)

February Topic: Waste = Food
University of Minnesota College of Design alumni Sarah Wolbert promotes an ingenious view of rebalancing urban food systems—one that involves design of detritivore and decomposition systems that eat waste products. This method of using waste as food can actually improve the safety and security of our own food supply. Wolbert will share ideas from her graduate design thesis and involve the audience in generating even more solutions.
