Currently: 9° and Overcast — Dude Weather Subscribe to Secrets Minneapolis / St. Paul
The last of the Walker's Out There shows opens tonight. I don't know much about this weekend's featured artists, The Riot Group, who are apparently an absurdist creator of political satire, but I did pick up on this snazzy bit from the Walker's press release about 'em: these guys are apparently "riffing on influences as disparate as Moby Dick and the Marine Corps manual" in this show, Pugilist Specialist. So, I guess this will be something of a meditation on the U.S.'s eerily misguided searches for evil in foreign lands--replete with spooky music and a barren stage. Don't miss it.
Coming tomorrow: Cheap, outdoor theater from one of the least known but most physically inventive theater troupes in town. Oh, and my favorite visual artist David Rathman. And maybe a dash more of Kramer's Ergot.
