About This Show
Pilobolus returns with its transporting blend of physicality and illusion – offering THREE perfect packages. THREE innovative programs. THREE twists for Pilobolus.
ONE Pilobolus: Aquatic
This program exemplifies Pilobolus’ signature partnering style, anchored by Aquatica (NY premiere), a meditation set in the oceanic underworld, with breathtaking leaps and amazing forms that bubble to an original score by Brazilian composer Marcelo Zarvos. Also making splashes on stage: Warm Heart, Brass Ring and Day Two. (Day Two contains partial nudity)
TWO Pilobolus: Megawatt
In Megawatt > Full Strength, the company’s first evening-length work, Pilobolus goes over the top with a full-course feast of nonstop, edge-of-your-seat antics. A comic tour de force reflecting the craziness of our time- with music from Primus, Radiohead, Squarepusher and others- Megawatt > Full Strength transforms the physically impossible into eloquent beauty.
THREE Pilobolus: Suspended
This program highlights the gravity-defying Pilobolus works in which the dancers are suspended by silks, ropes, hoops and more. Don’t miss the NY premiere of BUGonia, a scintillating duet in which two women form one unusual creature — part plant and part animal — that blossoms to Ed Bilous’s original score. Dancers will also fly in Monkey and the White Bone Demon, Ben’s Admonition, Dark Moon, and Star Cross’d.
Appropriate For Ages: Older Children, Includes Nudity
