Exhibition on Screen – Klimt and The Kiss
2026-02-09 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Pollak Theatre
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognized and reproduced paintings in the world. Painted in Vienna in 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials.
During his lifetime, Klimt was both a controversial and a much-admired artist, who dominated the art scene. Born in 1862, Gustav Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality, ancient mythology and radical modernity. The often-scandalous work of his “Golden Period”, created by using a unique method that let him apply natural, wafer-thin gold leaf onto canvas, produced some of his most renowned works, including the timeless symbol of beauty and artistic expression, the iconic masterpiece THE KISS.
Stepping into a world of passion and emotion the powerful and gripping new film KLIMT & THE KISS from director Ali Ray (‘Frida Kahlo’, ‘Mary Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman’) explores this masterpiece that captures the essence of love and the human experience so well. The film delves into the details of the real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, and exams the rich tapestry of extraordinary influences behind one of the world’s favorite paintings which is on display at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria.

Toni Morrison, Sula
2026-02-10 19:30 - 21:00 | Virtual
Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is Sula by Toni Morrison.
Chloe Anthony Wofford Morrison, known as Toni Morrison, was an American novelist and editor. Her first novel, The Bluest Eye, was published in 1970. The critically acclaimed Song of Solomon (1977) brought her national attention and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 1988, Morrison won the Pulitzer Prize for Beloved (1987); she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993. Morrison became the first black female editor for fiction at Random House in New York City in the late 1960s. She developed her own reputation as an author in the 1970s and ’80s. Her novel Beloved was made into a film in 1998. Morrison’s works are praised for addressing the harsh consequences of racism in the United States and the Black American experience. The National Endowment for the Humanities selected Morrison for the Jefferson Lecture, the U.S. federal government’s highest honor for achievement in the humanities, in 1996. She was honored with the National Book Foundation’s Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters the same year. President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on May 29, 2012. She received the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction in 2016. Morrison was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2020.
Sula and Nel are two young black girls: clever and poor. They grow up together sharing their secrets, dreams and happiness. Then Sula breaks free from their small-town community in the uplands of Ohio to roam the cities of America. When she returns ten years later much has changed. Including Nel, who now has a husband and three children. The friendship between the two women becomes strained and the whole town grows wary as Sula continues in her wayward, vagabond and uncompromising ways.

The Stage
Puppetry, magic, and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel.

Hiran Abeysekara (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) plays Pi Patel, joined on stage by Mina Anwar (The Thin Blue Line), Raj Ghatak (The Kite Runner), and Nicholas Khan (NT Live: The Beaux Stratagem).
This epic staging of Yann Martel’s tale of endurance and hope is
adapted by Lolita Chakrabati and directed by Max Webster (Henry V).
The production has been met with strong critical acclaim across
national press, including many five-star reviews.
