    November has inexorably arrived, and while you might already be gearing up for a long winter of take out food and Netflix binges, allow us to offer an alternative, twenty of them, in fact! From nature walks to comedy shows to winner-take-all mustache contests, November is packing so much cultural heat that it was almost impossible to narrow the list down. But somehow, we found a way. Time to make some plans!

    Odds are there's not enough trapeze happening in your daily life. This month you'll get a chance to change that, when BAM premieres Opus, a high-brow circus act that's as acrobatic as it is aristocratic. The show will feature the ornate feats of Australia's Circa, who will tower and balance upon one another while a string quartet plays selections of Debussy and Shostakovich; it's being heralded as a "delicate and savage thriller" and will likely flip all your preconceived circus notions, no big tent required.Wednesday-Saturday, November 4-7th, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday November 8th, 3 p.m. // BAM Howard Gilman Opera House, 30 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn // Tickets $25-60
    We're not meteorologists, but we're pretty certain that the temperatures are set to plunge throughout November. Luckily there'll be excess body heat on hand at every night of Antibalas's month-long Brooklyn Bowl residency. Each Wednesday the powerhouse afrobeat band will bring in special guests like rapper-poet Saul Williams, RnB dynamo Santigold, and soul revivalist Lee Fields to push the mercury towards the boiling point. After all, this is the band that helped make Fela! such a runaway success; their grooves will send you off to a place of sweaty bliss.Wednesday, November 4th, 11th, and 18th; Doors at 6 p.m. // Brooklyn Bowl, 61 Wythe Ave // Tickets $15
    Throughout the month of November, MoMA will once again host "To Save And Project," a celebration of landmark films from directors like Orson Welles, Federico Fellini and Dario Argento. As in years past, this month's batch of films represents works that have just recently been restored, and will offer cinephiles the chance to sink deep into Hollywood Noir, Cold War-era European masterpieces, and even a few silent classics that predate most of the Manhattan skyline. But the clear must-see items this year belong to Welles; 2015 is his centennial, after all, and MoMA is making the most of it by showing The Merchant of Venice, a rare print of The Deep, and selections from The Other Side of the Wind. We can already taste the popcorn.Wednesday-Thursday, November 4th-25th; times vary // MoMA, 11 W 53rd Street, Manhattan // Tickets $8-12
