Foster Family Theater - All Performance Dates and Times:
Sep 18, 2008 - 7:30 PM, Sep 19, 2008 - 8:00 PM, Sep 20, 2008 - 8:00 PM. 'Combines organized peril with drama and mordant wit' (The Village Voice). Diavolo has redefined dance, redefined theatre, and redefined thrills. As modern society grows dense with new technologies and marvelous possibilities, the everyday act of survival seems increasingly fraught with danger and anxiety. Diavolo investigates the latent absurdities of contemporary human life and recontextualizes them through the body, exploring the influences of environment, possessions and relationships. The company’s aim is to capture and comment upon the ironic and frequently humorous patterns, as well as the darker consequences, of human behavior. Diavolo takes movement, athleticism and risk to the extreme and creates surreal, sometimes Dada-esque tableaux in which the imagination thrives. “These guys have no fear. Catapult off a 15-foot staircase into darkness? No problem. Leap across a pitching boat deck? You got it. Oh, and can we make that fearless athleticism creatively metaphorical? Just watch…' (Anchorage Daily) Part of the Family Series.
