Heddatron

Not music, nor Portland, granted, but certainly cultural and all in the family. My friend Alex has been having a bunch of success in the past few years doing weirdly revisionist and absurdist theater pieces about intellectuals. The press fiesta continues with this Wired piece about his latest - written/produced by some other folks from my former East Coast life. It's called Heddatron and, as I understand it, involves a bunch of robots kidnapping a housewife and forcing her to act Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" ad infinitum. Many roles in the play are played, apparently, by robots. If you're in New York, you should see it. I would.
