Angst, ardor, and a lot of haze filled Boston’s TD Garden last Wednesday. On Sept. 4, the world tour of dream pop band Cigarettes After Sex made a stop at the iconic venue. By 8 p.m., concertgoers clad mostly in black made their way into the arena to fill the nearly 20,000-seat venue. The show […]
“We feel that we have been slighted…We want to make sure that our message is present: that the HUA needs to be replaced.” Though Trinity Dysis ’27 is “well aware” that she is a freshman, since arriving at Harvard, Dysis has understood the problems that have faced Harvard’s student government for quite some time. “It […]
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events, incidents, emotions, thematic revelations, etc. are products of the author’s imagination (that she will hopefully one day sell and capitalize upon). Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. (By purely we mean truly, thoroughly, nearing 100%, downright asymptotic!) […]
The Unknowable: An Operatic Ballet in Two Acts, a stunning original production written by Benjamin T. Rossen ’23, presents a mesmerizing blend of emotion, music, and dance.

The Harvard-Yale rivalry is entrenched in everything, not just football. Yale merch is informally forbidden on Harvard’s campus and jokes disparaging bulldogs and New Haven are abundant in Cambridge. There are significant differences between Harvard and Yale that are unrelated to football that fuel the rivalry between the schools. Harvard and Yale’s differences expand to […]
Harvard Ballet Company’s spring production On Exhibition created a moving, breathing art museum this past weekend on the Loeb mainstage. Dancers embodied works of visual art, dissolving barriers between static and mobile spheres of art. On Exhibition opened with ‘self portrayal,’ a number choreographed by producer Amy Benedetto ’23. Dancers ran on stage holding pictures […]
The Harvard student is forged under the pressure to perform. The admission process requires that students thrive off their ability to succeed—academically, socially, and athletically. Yet while students can excel in performance contexts, they might falter in more freeform environments. The act of sex falls somewhere in between premeditated performance and spontaneous expression. Amid a […]
Pop idol Dua Lipa brought screaming color and breathtaking sensuality to Boston’s TD Garden last Friday, after her tour was previously postponed due to the pandemic. Street vendors waved around t-shirts bearing her face as brightly-dressed fans lined up, vaccine cards and masks in hand. We piled into the dimly lit arena with a sea […]
