The Guthrie will present Tales from the Book of Longing conceived, directed and choreographed by Stuart Pimsler with Suzanne Costello, founders and artistic co-directors of the nationally-acclaimed Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater (SPDT). Inspired by the poetry of Leonard Cohen and the music of Antony and the Johnsons, Tales from the Book of Longing unfolds in an episodic landscape of sinuous moments out of reach and quiet scenes of missed chances.  The evening-length work of signature SPDT weaves its way through a world of frayed relationships teetering on the edge of change. SPDT's virtuosic performance ensemble, including recent recipients of McKnight and SAGE Awards for Outstanding Dance Performance, draw spectators into an emotionally-charged collection of imagistic stories. Tales from the Book of Longing will run October 8 - October 18 in the Dowling Studio. Single tickets are priced from $18 to $30, with a limited number of premium tickets available for opening night. Tickets are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE, 612.225.6244 (Group Sales) and online at http://www.guthrietheater.org.
