ARTS: EMPANADA LOCA Playwright Aaron Mark’s deliciously macabre Empanada Loca returns with actress Amanda Guardado at the center of this one-woman show, directed by Troy Heard. The plot follows Dolores, a promising young woman now living in the tunnels of Manhattan after falling into a web of drugs and crime with her boyfriend and serving prison time. The horror heats up as Dolores recounts her dark past, including her life as a “masseuse” in the basement of her friend’s empanada shop that’s suddenly pumping out more “meat” pies than ever before. Inspired by the infamous demon barber Sweeney Todd, Empanada Loca serves up immersive horror on a silver platter. 5 p.m. (& select dates thru 10/21), $50, Majestic Repertory Theatre, majesticrepertory.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: JADU HEART England’s indie electronic duo Jadu Heart fully understands the assignment of immersion. Diva Jeffrey and Alex Headford unfold their albums like chapters of a larger tome. They’re written in a language of gauze-like dream-pop, lush synths, interstellar pop interludes and pain. Latest album Post Romance picks up after Jeffrey and Headford decided to separate after nine years, wounds still fresh and indescribably evident in melancholic tracks like “Post Romance.” It doesn’t get any more raw or immersive than that—and they’ll put it all out on the stage at Swan Dive. 8 p.m., $22, Swan Dive, swandivelv.com. –Amber Sampson
