Have an undying love for Mr. Depp? At 2pm today, the Boston Public Library will be playing The Ninth Gate. Yeah I know it's 2pm, but maybe, just maybe, your boss will let you leave early to watch some Johnny Depp goodness. The story is interesting as well. And if you're one of the lucky few who work from home, well, good for you!! Enjoy the film!

“An authentic, serious new voice in dance…an exciting, seemingly improbable fusion of hip-hop, ballet and modern dance.” — Los Angeles Times

Choreographer Victor Quijada, who co-directs the Montreal- based company with Anne Plamondon, combines the freshness and spontaneity of street dance (Quijada was a b-boy in Los Angeles before signing on with Twyla Tharp and later Les grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal) with the rigor of ballet and the inventiveness of contemporary dance.
Free pre-performance talk with dance critic Debra Cash 45 minutes prior to each performance.
Where: ICA
When: Starting this Friday to Sunday, so there's no excuse to miss it. :)
Price: $40 nonmembers; $36 members
