Diavolo September 16, 2010

Diavolo reinvents dance, re-imagines theater, and redefines thrills. Led by artistic director Jacques Heim, the ten dancer-actor-gymnasts of Diavolo take movement, athleticism, and risk to the extreme. Unusual sets and outrageous props are integral to each piece. By combining thrilling, collaborative choreography with everyday items such as doors, chairs, and stairways, Diavolo creates metaphors for the challenge of relationships, the absurdities of life, and the struggle to maintain our humanity in an increasingly technological world. This program will include the East Coast premiere of Fearful Symmetries, set to John Adams' score and commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
