'Woo'

Wrapping up this year's New Works 4 Weeks festival at Red Eye Theater, the performance group Cathedral draws on ritual, theater and ceremony for this piece examining the relationship between creativity and the divine. This will be Cathedral's second appearance in the festival, having made its debut two years ago with a piece directed by Dolo McComb. This year the group, made up of McComb, Kimberly Lesik and Scott Stafford, transform the theater into a sacred space, stirring up the occult with a mix of postmodern dance and lo-fi original pop music. (8 p.m. Thu.-Sat., 7 p.m. Sun., Red Eye Theater, 15 W. 14th St., Mpls., $10-$15, 612-870-0309, redeyetheater.org)
