Sarah Michelson: tournamento

The Walker Art Center’s Performing Arts season launches with the world premiere of a new work by New York–based innovator Sarah Michelson. The Walker-commissioned work, tournamento, will be performed in the William and Nadine McGuire Theater, Thursday–Sunday, September 24–27.

The McGuire Theater house will open each day at 4 pm. Onstage seating $1; auditorium seating is free. No reservation required.

SHOWTIME 7 pm each evening. Onstage seating $28 ($24 Walker members); auditorium seating is free.

The Walker has had a long, close relationship with Michelson over the past decade, including the commissions and presentations of the ambitiously scaled Daylight (For Minneapolis) (2005) and Devotion (2011). tournamento, Michelson’s third consecutive commission from the Walker, will be presented on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the landmark Daylight (For Minneapolis), her work that was inspired by the design of the Walker’s new Herzog & de Meuron building and new theater, which opened in 2005.
