The Walker is providing a commission, production residency, and presentation support for Tesseract, by choreographers Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener. Mitchell and Riener were two of the most stunning performers in the final iteration of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. In a groundbreaking co-commission with Experimental and Performing Arts Center, they are paired with longtime Cunningham collaborator and visual/media artist Charles Atlas. The thrilling result is a live dance technology hybrid featuring seven dancers and 3-D video that weaves together dance, sci-fi narratives, and live film segments, presented March 16-18, 2017, as part of Merce Cunningham: Common Time.
