“Nigamon/Tunai”: University Musical Society
Oct. 2-5, 7, & 8. Canadian Anishinaabe-Algonquin performance and installation artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian interdisciplinary artist Waira Nina, a member of the Inga nation, perform an immersive ritual mourning the plundering of the planet. The piece incorporates movement, music, dramatic lighting, audio interviews, and sounds of the natural world. When they performed the piece at the Edinburgh International Festival in 2024, the Guardian UK reviewer called it “utterly unique, magnetic, beautiful and sad.” Performed with audience members seated throughout the space on cushions, low stools, and chairs. Accessible seating available. Post-show Q&A. Age 14+. 7:30 p.m. (Wed.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sat. & Sun.), Power Center. Tickets $48 in advance ($15–$20 students) at tickets.ums.org and (734) 764–2538.
