Louisville Orchestra brings Holocaust-era opera to stage
SUMMARY: “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” will be performed this Saturday at the Kentucky Center, highlighting a poignant connection to Louisville through Charles Bristol, a long-time violinist with the Louisville Orchestra. Bristol fondly remembers his mentor Paul Kling, who taught with a cooperative approach rather than competition. Kling, a Holocaust survivor from the Czech Republic, was interned at Terezin, where he was rehearsing for the opera’s premiere before the Nazis halted it. He later escaped from Auschwitz. This performance not only showcases the opera but also honors Kling’s influence on Bristol’s 49-year violin career. Tickets are available online.

Swamps are ‘nonbinary’: U of Louisville lecture entwined swamp tales with trans ideology | Kentucky
SUMMARY: The University of Louisville’s mid-January lecture titled “Swamp Tales, Trans Ghosts, and Nonbinary Magical Realism,” presented by Professor C. Riley Snorton, examined swamps as “nonbinary spaces” intersecting with themes of race, gender, and sexuality. The lecture integrated Black ecologies and trans studies, questioning the coloniality of climate change and identity. Snorton discussed three swamp narratives—the Wild Man of the Green Swamp, the Honey Island Swamp monster, and Amazonian plant-spirits—highlighting their potential to challenge traditional categorizations. Sponsored by various departments, the event aimed to foster solidarity across differences through a unique ecological lens.
