A fungus that grew into an international dance phenomenon, Pilobolus
performs a season full of "stunning physical feats and visual surprises,
a peek or two into the crannies of the heart, and lots of humor, both
awful and sublime." (The New York Times). Highlights include
premieres created in collaboration with Michael Moschen and Sidi Larbi
Cherkaoui, two artists whose work takes the very definition of dance to
new frontiers. The collaboration with physicist, juggler, dancer Moschen
unites the underlying spirit of Pilobolus's work--support, humanity,
connection - with an artist similarly fascinated with the emotional and physical properties governing human interaction. And the collaboration
with Cherkaoui, a "bright young star of contemporary European dance," (Los Angeles Times),
equally promises to defy the established boundaries of visual and
kinetic artistry. Set against the gritty, saturated colors of LA's
Eastside streets, Skyscrapers explores the melancholy,
understated elegance of the tango, quintessential street dance, drenched
in overtones of love, romance, and loss. Pilobolus once again joins
Trish Sie (co-creator of last year's Grammy-nominated Pilobolus/OK Go
video and live dance, "All Is Not Lost") to imagine Sie's brilliant new
video for OK Go's Skyscrapers as a work for the live stage. This
quick- change duet follows a never-ending, always-changing journey in
search of connection. Sandwiched in between are audience favorites
gleaned from Pilobolus' repertory, a bag of tricks embracing forty-one
years of fun.
