** ARTINFO RECOMMENDS ** “Accordion Wrestling,” at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, 8:30 PM
Damrosch Park Bandshell, Lincoln Center
“‘Accordion Wrestling might sound totally bizarre, with accordionist Kimmo Phojonen frenetically playing while tumultuous grappling matches writhe around him. In fact, Pohjonen is reviving a now-dormant tradition of Finnish wrestling, which had its matches soundtracked with the winding sounds of the accordion. Phojonen takes this idea and creates an aggressive musical multimedia performance, with microphones embedded in a custom wrestling mat to capture the thuds of the Helsinki wrestles, to go along with his uniquely physical electronic accordion music. He even gets involved in some of the action himself.” - Allison Meier

** ARTINFO RECOMMENDS ** “Mobile Shakespeare Unit: Richard III,” at the Public Theatre, 7 PM
425 Lafayette Street, Noho
“The Mobile Shakespeare Unit’s production of Shakespeare's violent and brooding ‘Richard III’ is opening at the Public Theater for a limited three week run, but it’s already been staged across the five boroughs, albeit in less formal settings, with performances at prisons, army bases, homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, and other venues that are often artistic voids. The unit, founded by the same Joseph Papp who started the Public and the free Shakespeare in the Park productions, was revived last summer after around 40 years of inactivity, with the riveting Ron Cephas Jones leading the nomadic cast as the ruthless Richard.” - Allison Meier
