Valentine’s Day cuisine goes beyond candy hearts and boxes of chocolate. While the holiday celebrates blossoming romance, it equally serves as a reminder to honor other kinds of love, including affection for family, friendships, home, places, and more. Personally, I advocate for a love of food.

On Friday, Feb. 2, I waited in the audience for the lights to go up for Triple 8’s 2024 show, “Montage.” Slowly, and then all at once, Frist Theatre came alive with lowlights. The show had begun. The stage quickly flooded with dancers as the first piece began, a high-energy hip-hop number. My interest was piqued in those first minutes, and for a good reason — they opened the show with a force and precision capable of drawing audiences in, yet didn’t allow the audience to grow too comfortable with a single kind of movement.

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra, a world-renowned nomadic ensemble known for performing everything from Viennese classical and early Romantic periods to contemporary works, hosted four classical concerts from January 18 to 21 during Wintersession. The audience could move around, over, under, and even through the musicians, thanks to virtual reality. This was the North American premiere of the concert experience, which was pre-recorded in two historic Berlin churches over the span of three years. The event was sponsored by Princeton University Concerts (PUC).

As the Jan. 7 Golden Globes kicked off the 2024 awards season, the movie “Saltburn” seemed to be on everyone’s mind. Entertainment Weekly called the film a “perverse, psychosexual thriller of the highest order,” featuring startling scenes of bathtubs, graves, and a celebratory dance number (if you know, you know). From its prominence on TikTok to its trending soundtrack featuring MGMT’s “Time to Pretend” and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder On The Dancefloor,” “Saltburn”’s popularity has persisted long after its Nov. 17 limited release in theaters.

On the evening of Nov. 4, a deluge of paper airplanes, balloons, and Yale transfer applications were launched from every corner of the Richardson Auditorium. The items converged on the performers onstage — the Princeton Glee Club — as they sang the Princeton Football Medley. The assailants? None other than the Yale Glee Club. Meanwhile, the audience erupted in gasps and eager chatter.

As reading period drew closer, I found myself spending more and more time at Frist Campus Center, doing homework and catching the two late meals to keep me going. One day, in front of my usual study spot, I was captivated by diSiac’s promotional flyers for their winter show: "International Heat of Princeton" — IHOP, if you will. The playful and creative concept instantly drew me in. As I bought myself a ticket for their Saturday show, I wondered what sweet and savory performances awaited me.

“The Boy and The Heron” wasn’t supposed to be released. Hayao Miyazaki had already announced that his last film would be “The Wind Rises,” a fictionalized biopic on the complicated life of aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, whose plane designs were used by Japan in World War II. That film serves both as a testament to Miyazaki’s prowess as a filmmaker and a semi-autobiographical look at an artist's reconciliation with the inability to control the impact of his own work.

When I heard that a “Hunger Games” prequel movie, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” was coming out to theaters on Nov. 17, I did what anyone would do: I joined the loan queue for the book by Susanne Collins at the Princeton Public Library and bought a ticket to see it in theaters over Thanksgiving Break.

At The Prospect, writers often review one of the many restaurants in town, from those that students frequent to some of the restaurants farther out. But we've overlooked late meal on campus, which remains one of the most popular options for students.

The singing swells in the arch, reaching a crescendo of harmonies, claps, and rhythmic beats, only beaten out by thundering applause from the audience. After the cheering clears away, a member shouts: “We’re Shere Khan, Princeton’s premier co-ed acapella group!”
