Eckhart's remarks about God twice earned him condemnation from the medieval Roman Catholic Church. Though he successfully defended himself the first time, he died before rallying a second, thus making him forever ineligible for sainthood. This production captures one day near the end of Eckhart's life in 1328, portrayed by more than 35 dancers, actors and singers in medieval costumes, accompanied by a dozen low-flying trapezes. Dancers will perform against a backdrop of music by Desert Voices, and narration by Patrick S. Cunningham. See this week's dance preview for details.
Discounts are available for groups and religious organizations.

Artist Laurie Lundquist redefines the space between environmental issues and constructivist sculptural concerns in her latest exhibit, Surface Tension . This kinetic installation reveals the physical and visual properties of water, using pools reminiscent of water treatment tanks or field irrigation systems. She achieves her effect through a mechanical system of belts and pulleys hanging from the ceiling, in turn powering simple devices that draw on the water's surface.
