The Moving Architects: Sacred Spaces
Like the history of religion itself, Norton's latest work is sublimely meditative in one moment and seething with violence the next.

Despite being inspired by a book on religious architecture and a visit to the Bahá’í Temple in Wilmette, Erin Carlisle Norton’s new quintet Sacred Spaces is about as far from gossamer liturgical dance as you can get. Jagged angles and clawlike hands meet tense stares and football tackles, while Ian Hatcher’s score runs a heart monitor through a fax machine wrapped in prayer rugs. Like Norton’s previous works, it’s as formal as one of Mies’s glass boxes—there’s blood streaked on the windows, though. Runs Thu 3–Sat 5.
