Pilobolus
Sunday, November 8, 2009
Laxson Auditorium | 7:30 p.m.
$26 Premium | $21 Adult | $19 Senior | $15 Student/Child
|
 Ever-evolving - and always surprising - the members of Pilobolus are
not only dancers: they are also acrobats and theater and mime artists;
as zany as the Marx Brothers, as clever as Houdini; poets who convert
their bodies into interchangeable and interlocking parts. This troupe
of superhuman artistic athletes continues to turn heads and eyes with
its novel approach to gravity, balance, and over-the-top partnerings.
Especially entrancing is their shadow work featured at the 2007 Academy
Awards.
This performance is supported, in part, by the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
