About the Show
May 21-23, 28-30, June 4-6, 11-13, 2026
The 2026 edition of the Red Eye Festival (formerly known as the New Works 4 Weeks Festival) is an annual gathering for live performance works that respond to the current moment and imagine collective transformation. Each year, artist cohorts engage in peer exchange, mutual support and dialogue around creative process that culminates in this public sharing. Over nearly four decades, this incubator of new work has become a cornerstone of the Twin Cities performance landscape.
