STAGE

Henry Rollins Time may have softened the edges of the punk rock icon’s aggro stance at the mike — gone are the days of club riots, LAPD raids and endless van hauls across the country — yet Rollins still seethes with a bemused intensity and an endless flow of words and opinions on seemingly everything under the sun, from RuPaul to BP to Bad Brains. Rollins’ Frequent Flyer Tour touches down for a three-night stand at Largo at the Coronet, 336 N. La Cienega Blvd., L.A. Friday through Sunday. 8:30 p.m. $15. (310) 855-0350. https://www.largo-la.com.

Cremaster Cycle Sculptor and performance artist Matthew Barney’s epic five-parter will have an exclusive one-week engagement.

Nuart Theatre, 11272 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica. 1:30, 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Thursday; 2, 5:20 and 8:15 p.m. Sunday and Tuesday; 2:30, 6:30 and 10 p.m. Monday and Wednesday.

Hero Complex Film Festival OK, so touting your own film festival for a blog named Hero Complex is a bit rich. But with the slate of directors and actors set to appear, not even kryptonite should keep you away. Leonard Nimoy, Christopher Nolan and Ridley Scott will each present and discuss their classic works of sci-fi and noir with our own professional fanboy, Geoff Boucher. Mann Chinese 6, 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. Friday through Sunday. Prices and times vary; for full listings, go to: events.latimes.com/herocomplexfilmfest.
