In this visually stunning masterpiece, a psychologist travels to a space station orbiting the distant planet Solaris, finding the crew wrecked by emotional crisis and haunted by mysterious alien creatures. As he struggles to help the crew, he soon succumbs to the same crippling forces and discovers that the planet below is not what it seems. With patient, breathtaking cinematography and a metaphysically charged screenplay, this quiet film throws convention to the wind, inducing an experience that is dreamlike, cerebral, and unlike any other science-fiction film.

Bread and Water Theatre will host a reading by J. R. Teeter of Mike Daisey's The Trump Card.
Author and monologist Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short fingered vulgarian who captured the nation's heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions, and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump. Daisey tells Trump's story from his earliest days, tracking him as he makes himself into a new American archetype as the first rich man famous exclusively for being rich. Instead of dismissing Trump as a simple con artist and huckster, Daisey breaks down what makes Trump Tick and in doing so illuminates the state of our American Dream and how we've sold out.
