GOINGS ON

What we're watching, listening to, and doing this week.

In the mid-twenty-tens, the incandescent girl group Blackpink was at the cen-ter of the K-pop revolution. Its members—Rosé, Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo—re-flected the Korean diaspora; the group’s music was decidedly robust and pulled explicitly from hip-hop; and its tag line, “Blackpink in your area,” made clear its global ambitions. Its biggest singles are possessed by a zany hyperactivity offset by a blasé cool, and its two albums made it the most successful K-pop girl group ever. Having devoted more time to solo projects in recent years, the members of Blackpink come together for a long-anticipated reunion tour nav-igating both group and solo stardom.—Sheldon Pearce (Citi Field; July 26-27.)

ABOUT TOWN

FLAMENCO | The ensemble Noche Flamenca, led by the remarkable flamenco dancer and choreographer Soledad Barrio and her choreographer husband Martín Santangelo, continues its explorations of the paintings and etchings of Francisco Goya, which often depict characters in deep distress, hemmed in by dark forces. Such themes are well suited to the emotionally explosive range of flamenco performance, with its keening voices and driving footwork. The vignettes in “Legacy of Our Dreams,” set to guitar, percussion, and voice, each delve into a theme, from the shame of forbidden love to social isolation to the abuse of the powerless—or, as Santangelo put it, “the not-so-pretty parts of life.”—Marina Harss (Joyce Theatre; July 29-Aug. 10.)
