SUMMARY:Changemaker Speaker Series: Deanne Fitzmaurice A250 Portrait of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Wheeler’s ongoing Changemaker Speaker Series\, A250 Portrait of a Nation features Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Deanne Fitzmaurice in an illustrated talk marking America’s 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th. Offered free to the public with advance RSVP required\, the program reflects a shared commitment to access\, civic dialogue\, and storytelling that sparks reflection and connection. \nDrawing from nearly forty years as a photojournalist—including her tenure at the San Francisco Chronicle and assignments for National Geographic\, Sports Illustrated\, and ESPN—Fitzmaurice revisits defining chapters of recent American history. Her work spans the AIDS crisis\, the Loma Prieta earthquake\, marriage‑equality rulings\, climate events\, and cultural touchstones from professional sports to Route 66. \nCentral to the presentation is her Pulitzer Prize–winning photographic essay chronicling the recovery of a wounded Iraqi boy\, anchoring a broader meditation on resilience\, humanity\, and the role of visual journalism in shaping national memory. As part of the Changemaker Speaker Series\, A250 Portrait of a Nation highlights the power of storytelling to deepen understanding during moments of historic significance. \nThis is a free\, but ticketed\, community event; advance RSVP is encouraged to secure reservations.

SUMMARY:Commedia dell'arte
DESCRIPTION:Camille Henrot brings her interdisciplinary practice to the stage for the first time with the world premiere of Commedia dell’arte. Co-commissioned by Performa\, Aspen Art Museum / Wheeler Opera House\, and LYRA Art Foundation\, Henrot’s performance incorporates the stock characters and comic ploys of the Italian Renaissance theatrical tradition within a modern day New York City apartment building. The delivery of a package triggers a cascade of uncanny events among tenants\, as the tragi-comedic play attempts to make sense out of the senseless\, ultimately collapsing into it. \nThe work draws on Henrot’s distinct visual language\, shaped by her background as a cartoonist\, as well as the slapstick and gestural comedy of Buster Keaton\, Jim Carrey\, and Tex Avery. Henrot engages and reconfigures the formal languages of film and television\, media whose own structures are shaped by the conventions and performative structures of early theater. In a zany collision of mundanity and excess\, Henrot constructs a portrait of contemporary life in which hustle and reflection\, wealth and precarity\, share a wall—bodies always in motion\, in the constant performance of being. \nThe performance was developed in collaboration with set designers Charlap Hyman & Herrero\, costume designer Sandra Berrebi\, writer Estelle Hoy\, playwright Justine Gelfman\, choreographer Sigrid Lauren\, and lighting designer Dan Stearns with original music and live sound by Aaron David Ross and Mauro Hertig. \n\nPlease visit https://airaspen.org/ for more information \nIMAGE CREDIT: \nCamille Henrot\, Study for Pantalone\, the Landlord\, 2025. \n© ADAGP Camille Henrot.
