PERFORMANCE: Performance artist Narcissister (who you can read about in our Spring issue, on stands now) has been getting buzz for the past couple of years for her burlesque-inspired pieces (her "reverse striptease," in which the naked artist pulls various articles of clothing out of her private parts, in particular) and bold installations. Tonight, she debuts her new performance "The Organ Grinder," an "internal exploration of the body." This show's not for kids, but you probably guessed that.

Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand St., (212) 598-0400. 8 p.m., $15. Tickets here.

FILM: Ashik Kerib

This 1988 musical picaresque by Armenian director Sergei Parajanov follows a folk hero on a fairy-tale journey (based on a story by Lermontov) to court a beautiful princess; it also allegorizes the gay director's persecution by Soviet brass. Tonight's screening will be introduced by members of the performance troupe My Barbarian.

IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue. 35 mm, 78 minutes. 9 p.m. $13.50

MUSIC: Savages

English band Savages is reviving that sort of gothic 80's post-punk that acts like Siouxsie Sioux and Killing Joke made their own and they are really damn good at it. Heavy on the bass and even heavier on the brooding, Savages' creepy music will be worthwhile to catch live.

Bowery Ballroom, 6 Delancey Street. 8 p.m. $15

FILM:

Screenwriter, host of BAM Cinematek's Cinema Chats and longtime Village Voice film critic and contributor Elliott Stein passed away in November, and his friends at BAM are honoring him with the month-long Tuesdays With Elliott, featuring some of us his favorite films. Stein actually co-wrote and stars in tonight's selection Bizarre (Secrets of Sex), a trippy 1970 nudesploitation classic exploring "the extremities to which mankind--and more particularly, womankind--go in the pursuit of, shall we say, satisfaction," narrated by an exhumed mummy.

BAM Rose Cinemas,  4:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. $13. Tickets here.
