About This Show
Choreographers Shannon and Rob Davidson utilize their unique brand of sensual partnering and Buster Keaton meets Butoh style to explore the mystical side of their ethnic heritage. Inspired by Celtic Mythology, Grìos, KineticArchitecture’s latest evening-length dance theater work, will lead you on a journey through the land of Faerie where fantasy and reality merge. Gaelic for to encourage, incite, rake up a fire, Grìos offers up an artful twist to St. Patrick’s Day tradition, with luscious imagery as well as Irish beer to light your inner fire.

What people are saying:
“Some of the best art in the form of experimental work and performances at Galapagos.” — New York Times
“A whimsical, fanciful mixture of techniques showcasing strengths and comedic talent.” — Dance magazine
“I was excited by the work they are doing, which fuses burlesque with modern dance to create works that do not take themselves too seriously yet comment upon facets of American culture, both politically and socially. The humor and satirical moments… were contrasted by both beauty and strength.” — Sara Juli, Curator, The Bridge/NY
“Reminded me of the Atlas couple from Cirque du Soleil” — Molly Glentzer, Houston Chronicle
“Blistering parody…hilariously depraved” — Lewis Whittington, Ballet-Dance Magazine
“South Jersey’s premiere Modern dance company.” — South Jersey Magazine
