JUNE 14 TO 17 The artist becomes the art project in director Robert Wilson’s acclaimed production of The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic. As boldly innovative as the Serbian-American performance artist whose life and career it chronicles, the groundbreaking stage show is far from a typical biography. For one thing, the real-life Abramovic not only portrays herself, she also takes on the role of her mother. The ever-intriguing Willem Dafoe plays Abramovic’s male counterpart—and the story’s narrative voice. Bluma Appel Theatre, Friday, Saturday and Monday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m., $55 to $125; call 416-368-4849 or click luminatofestival.com for further details. —Anna Marszalek
