Big Boy Dance | Transcendent Water Feature + Bunk Beds

Tristan Koepke | Big Boy Dance brings two distinct performances to Minneapolis February 4-7, 2026. See one or both shows across the week and experience the breadth of our newest creations.

Transcendent Water Feature (2026) — February 4–5, 2026 | Doors 7:15 PM, Performance 7:30 PM

Transcendent Water Feature premieres as the newest choreographic work by Tristan Koepke (Portland, ME) with collaborators from Big Boy Dance. The work extends Koepke’s ongoing research into speculative masculinities via Post Malone's improvised dance breaks, and features Minneapolis' own rock star performers, Leslie O'Neill, Maggie Zepp, and Laura Selle Virtucio alongside Big Boy Dance's Emilia Bruno, James Barrett, Cody Cook-Parrott, and Tristan Koepke.

Bunk Beds (2025) — February 6–7, 2026 | Doors 7:15 PM, Performance 7:30 PM (Friday) and 2PM (Saturday)

Bunk Beds is the latest iteration in a series of performances devised by Tristan Koepke (Portland, ME) and Benny Olk (Minneapolis, MN). Inspired by the creative and amorous partnership of Merce Cunningham and John Cage, Instagram thirst traps, and romance novel tropes, Bunk Beds reimagines devotion, desire, and process when you make room for more than two.
