At Sony Hall, The Residents bring *Eskimo Live* to New York City, reframing their long-circulating album as a staged rock/pop performance for an all-ages audience. The title points to a contested umbrella term often applied to Arctic Indigenous peoples, a reminder that naming can carry history as well as misunderstanding. In a city where global cultures are regularly re-presented onstage, the piece lands as a study in how outsiders construct “the North” through sound and image. One can admire the rigor while still noting the ethical friction built into the premise.
