University of Utah Children’s Dance Theatre presents “Salt”
The Children’s Dance Theatre invites you to come experience a magical adventure for all ages, based on a whimsical folk tale. Three brothers set out to seek their fortunes in a world full of fierce trolls and hungry giants. Ashlad, the youngest brother, is ridiculed and thought of as foolish because he asks so many questions. But Ashlad’s curiosity and kindness seem to bring him remarkable luck wherever he goes. Ultimately, Ashlad proves himself not so foolish after all, and brings home the unlikeliest of treasures, more precious than gold.

Join the Utah Film Center on Wednesday, April 5 at 7 pm at The City Library in downtown Salt Lake for a free film screening of the award-winning documentary, All That Breathes.
Presented as part of the Utah Film Center’s Through the Lens Spring Series and in partnership with KUER’s Radiowest, All That Breathes documents the story of two brothers who fall in love with the black kite bird in one of the world’s most populated cities, New Dehli.
This mesmerizing story follows the “kite brothers” as they care for thousands of creatures sick from smog-choked skies in their makeshift bird hospital inside the tiny basement of their home. As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this Muslim family and the neglected kite forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and rising social tensions.
We invite you to stay after the screening as KUER’s Radiowest host, Doug Fabrizio, hosts an engaging conversation with film director, Shaunak Sen about the restorative efforts despite dealing with some of the world’s poorest air quality.

“The glorious strains of gospel music wash over the West Bank in Field’s potent film. As the Palestinian National Theater and an African-American choir mount a touring play about Martin Luther King Jr., written by Stanford Professor and King scholar Clayborne Carson, an impassioned cultural exchange ensues, new friendships are forged and attitudes are altered.” –Clarity Films
