[Out There 21 @ Walker Art Center] [facebook event page]

Four ensembles whose breathtaking combinations of movement, media, theater, and physical drama are helping point the way to the future of live performance art.

It started earlier in January. There are two weekends left, one ensemble per weekend.

January 22, 9 pm and January 23-24, 7 and 9:30 pm
Tim Crouch presents:
ENGLAND

The charming playwright/actor Tim Crouch wants to meet you. He’s heard about you and has important things to tell you. His is a tale of England, but it’s about an empire of a different kind. Minimalist and mesmerizing, ENGLAND is performed in the Walker’s Burnet Gallery by two “guides” (Crouch and actress Hannah Ringham) who disregard the distinction between audience and actor, theater and life. This tour through space and across border–form and art gallery to a jam factory, from Edinburgh to Osaka–is a journey to the end of the world. Score by award-winning sound designer Dan Jones. Very limited seating.

Join Tim Crouch for Inside Out There workshop January 24, 11 am.

January 29-31, 8pm
Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company presents:
CHURCH

Playwright/director Young Jean Lee, whose SONGS OF THE DRAGONS FLYING TO HEAVEN was the sold out hit of Out There 2007, returns with her most stirring and potentially disturbing work. Even as CHURCH’s charismatic and left-leaning central preacher defies traditionally held Christian assumptions, he conveys a passionate message about religion having the power to transform lives, backed up by three female ministers. Hear the word and feel the power as the preaching, dance, and a full gospel choir deliver “a work so enjoyable, so intricate, and so thought-provoking [that] it’s only appropriate to give thanks and praise” (NEW YORK SUN).

Join Young Jean Lee for Inside Out There workshop January 31, 11 am.

All shows $18 ($15 Walker members). Out There ticket package: $50 for all four performances. Inside Out There workshops $6 ($4 members) or a package of four $20 ($12 members). For tickets, call the box office 612.375.7600, ext 4.
