Click thumbnails to enlarge

LANTERNA MAGICA is a new full-company work choreographed by co-Artistic Director Michael Tracy. This work immerses us in the luminous spirit of the natural world and uses ritual and mythology to create a mysterious and irresistible sensual celebration of the supernatural.

GNOMEN is a quartet for men whose lyrical exploration of relationships emerges from an unusually inventive physical vocabulary. A Pilobolus classic.

WALKLYNDON is a silent dance owing much of its physical humor to slapstick and vaudeville. Six colorfully dressed jocks romping, bumping, kicking and galumphing.

First performance in North America
Dog Id - see video aboveDOG ID (see video above) is a shadow piece in which a young woman is transformed. Created in collaboration with Steven Banks, lead writer for the brilliant animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.

MEGAWATT is an electrifying full-company piece that blends startling energy with an ironic take on the high-voltage state of the world. Ultra-dynamic moves to the music of Primus, Radiohead and Squarepusher display the company's physical endurance and prowess.

PSEUDOPODIA is a tumbling tumbleweed solo set to an all-percussion score.


Performance schedule concluded.
