Wild, witty, forever beguiling to all who see him, Philippe Petit has extended the boundaries of theater, music, writing, poetry, drawing and filmmaking to become an inimitable high wire artist. In 1974, Petit accomplished what may be the most astounding “artistic crime” of all time: he walked a high wire illegally stretched between the rooftops of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. He will discuss this and other unparalleled feats of artistry. For information about a private, pre-event dinner with Mr. Petit, call 893.3465.

This compelling film explores the rarely seen world of Japanese host boys, men who are paid to entertain wealthy women in exclusive nightclubs. Almost but not quite gigolos, more akin to male geishas, the host boys of Café Rakkyo, including Issei, Osaka’s top host boy, share their secrets.
