Performance Includes The Penn & Teller Don’t-Try-This-At Home Piece
Omaha Performing Arts presents the Pilobolus Dance Theatre in the Slosburg Hall at the Orpheum Theater Thursday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $20, and are available at TicketOmaha.com, 402.345.0606 or at the Ticket Omaha Office inside the Holland Center, 1200 Douglas St.
Pilobolus is a modern dance company known for its mystifying contortion and exaggerated interaction between human bodies. By combining the strength and agility of shape shifting, as well as various explorations of human movement, they have created their own unique style of showing the human body. “It’s as if we’re being given a fleeting glimpse of the inner workings of the universe,” stated The New York Times.
One of the highlights of the evening will be “[esc],” the result of a collaboration with masters of trickery, Penn & Teller. “[esc]” is the ultimate piece of gripping, do-not-try-this-at-home choreography featuring Houdini-inspired escapism. According to Teller, “We’ve never encountered a group of people so game to try anything, and so physically formidable and beautiful that they can do impossible stuff and make it look like art.” The performance will contain other repertory pieces such as “Day Two” and “Automation.”
Please note: The program contains partial nudity.
