KIDFEST: HUMAN – NEHPRII AMENII

“At the Bottom of the Ocean, where the darkness meets the stars, the Octopus will tell the story of a thing once called the human being…”

In a distant future where humans are gone, an octopus faces a powerful question: could it give one of its three hearts to help create a new kind of human—one that is kinder, more connected, and more in tune with the world?

Told through the windows of a sunken submarine, HUMAN invites audiences on an underwater journey filled with wonder, imagination, and discovery. Using striking visuals, inventive puppetry, dance, original music, and African Diasporic storytelling, the piece unfolds through the eyes of ocean creatures trying to understand who we once were—and who we might become.

HUMAN is a 60-minute interactive performance for the whole family, encouraging audiences of all ages to reflect on connection, care, and what it truly means to be human.

KIDFEST: UP IN ARMS—PIRATE SONG

Set sail on the adventure of a lifetime with Pirate Song, a whimsical musical puppet show filled with heart, humor, and discovery. In a world where dreams set sail and magic fills the air, Paulette the Pirate Princess and her faithful dog Waffle embark on a journey around the world in search of something truly special, her very own song.

For generations, Paulette’s family have sung the same old pirate song. But Paulette longs for something more. Determined to discover her own voice, she and Waffle set off on an unforgettable voyage, meeting remarkable friends along the way. A giraffe in Africa shares a new perspective on seeing the world. In Australia, a quirky koala playing the didgeridoo teaches Paulette to celebrate what makes each of us wonderfully different. A wise dragon in Japan reveals how our past can guide our future, while a vibrant toucan in Brazil encourages Paulette to trust her inner spirit.

Through music, laughter, and colorful characters, Paulette discovers that her song may have been with her all along, the song of curiosity, courage, and adventure. With her inner song guiding her, Paulette inspires audiences to celebrate their own unique voice and the beauty of cultures around the world.

RODERICK GEORGE | KNONAME ARTIST: THE GRAVE’S TEARS

Performed by seven male dancers, The Grave’s Tears expands on themes first explored in kNoname Artist’s Venom(2024), offering a deeper examination of the physical and psychological toll of systemic oppression, violence, and erasure against the LGBTQIA+ community. The work centers queer bodies as vessels of memory where grief, resistance, intimacy, and survival coexist. Drawing from the liberatory spirit of the Disco era, it reflects on a time when joy, music, and collective celebration became radical acts of defiance for communities pushed to the margins. In the absence of safety, visibility, and institutional care, queer people built refuge through chosen family and shared movement, where love functioned as a practice of survival.

Set against the legacy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and widespread abandonment, the work confronts the fragility of communities forced to grieve in isolation. In response, queer communities forged their own systems of care, holding one another through loss while insisting on presence.

HAMPTONS INSTITUTE: NO KINGS AND MORE – CARRYING FORWARD THE SPIRIT OF REVOLUTION

A Conversation with Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin
Moderated by Margaret Hoover

Presented by Guild Hall & The Common Good
Series programmed by Ellen Chesler and Patricia Duff

More than eight million people took to the streets in 3,300 determined yet joyous gatherings this past spring—the largest protests in American history. What motivates this contemporary revival of the spirit of America’s founders? Who is behind this effort? How has it been organized? What are its objectives and plans? What has been its impact?

Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, partners in life and in work, are the co-founders of Indivisible, the grassroots network that has mobilized millions of Americans around civic participation and democratic reform through “No Kings” rallies across the country and around the world. Their efforts have helped define a new era of peaceful, impactful political protest.

The conversation will be moderated by Margaret Hoover, CNN political commentator, host of Firing Line, and former White House staffer, known for her clear-eyed perspective on American politics. Together, the panel will explore civic responsibility, collective action, and how democratic ideals continue to evolve in a divided country.

HAMPTONS INSTITUTE: MIDTERMS 2026: IS DEMOCRACY ITSELF ON THE BALLOT?

A Conversation with Jeh Johnson and Michael Luttig
Moderated by Michael Waldman

Presented by Guild Hall & The Common Good
Series programmed by Ellen Chesler and Patricia Duff

President Trump has asserted an expansive vision of executive power, challenging established legal and constitutional norms: he has dismantled congressionally authorized federal agencies and programs; imposed unilateral tariffs; summarily arrested and deported immigrants; canceled university grants for scientific and medical research; pardoned convicted criminals; and ignored protections against conflicts of interest. He has authorized military incursions in Venezuela and elsewhere, engaged in war in Iran, and publicly threatened interference with midterm elections.

The courts have pushed back, reversing many—but not all—of these actions. Litigation continues. Where do we stand today? How strong is our democracy? Midterms 2026: Is Democracy Itself on the Ballot? will bring together leading legal and national security voices to examine what is at stake in the months ahead.

Jeh Johnson, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and General Counsel of the Department of Defense, has served at the highest levels of government during moments of crisis. Michael Luttig, a former federal appellate judge and one of the country’s most respected conservative legal thinkers, has become a prominent voice on the rule of law and constitutional limits.

The conversation will be moderated by Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice and a leading authority on voting rights and constitutional law.

A book signing in the lobby will follow the program.
