But on Thursday Mr. Siegal will show the premiere of the third "Stranger" work, "As if Stranger," at Danspace Project.
If "Stranger Things" hadn't come out this summer, would "The Get Down" have been Netflix's big show?
So, yeah, it's probably not going to happen, even if stranger things have happened in this tournament, such as John Obi Mikel apparently scoring a goal.
But "Petrouchka" may have served as a germ for "Eh Joe," which is a far more brilliant and harrowing, if stranger, work.
("Opus 8" is on Friday at 3 p.m.; "As if Stranger" will be performed Thursday through Jan . 19at 8 30 p.m.; $15. They are at Danspace Project, St. Mark's Church, 131 East 10th Street, East Village; 212-674-8194, danspaceproject.org).org
