I don't usually recommend works-in-progress.  But this one is too tempting to skip.  A sound/video designer and a choreographer combine to reimagine Merce Cunningham and John Cage's Ocean, originally presented as a dance in the round in which the dancers were surrounded by the audience, which was in turn surrounded by some 112 musicians playing Cage's score.  Here, the immersion is accomplished by having the audience lie on the (fleece-blanketed) floor staring at projections on the ceiling.  Let's face it:  any production that combines the concepts "Cage", "Cunningham", "psychedelic", and "lie on the floor and stare at projections on the ceiling" has got me.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:   Today is the day the restaurants at Hudson Yards start to open.  First, let's try Northern California meat purveyor Belcampo.
