Luma to Perform at the College of Saint Benedict

ST. JOSEPH, Minn. - The College of Saint Benedict presents Luma at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, in the Benedicta Arts Center on the CSB campus. Tickets are $20; senior and youth (3 and over) are $17; faculty, staff and students with CSB/SJU identification are $10. Tickets can be purchased by calling 320-363-5777. This is a family performance, so children ages three and over are welcome.

Luma (theatre of light) embodies a break-through in family performance art. Luma transforms a darkened theater into spatial canvas, where three-dimensional illuminated objects and chaotic characters paint surreal worlds of colorful motion. Low-flying trapeze artists in luminescent costumes, jugglers and black-velvet-clad performers manipulating glow-in-the-dark props produce the show's "light entertainment" to musical accompaniment from classical to New Age.

Please note that the majority of Luma's show takes place in the dark.

This event is sponsored by Wells Fargo with additional funding from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The College of Saint Benedict for women and Saint John's University for men are partners in liberal arts education, providing students the opportunity to benefit from the distinctions of not one, but two nationally recognized Catholic, Benedictine, residential undergraduate colleges. Together, the colleges challenge students to live balanced lives of learning, work, leadership and service in a coeducational environment.
