Why see Diavolo: Architecture in Motion?
Don't Miss Diavolo's Groundbreaking Dance
Founded in 1992 by Artistic Director and dance master Jacques Heim, Diavolo is a groundbreaking, highly original contemporary dance company that explores the relationship between the human body and its outer environment using 'architecture in motion' - a blend of acrobatics, gymnastic and modern dance. After wowing TV audiences as finalists on the twelfth season of America's Got Talent, the troupe brings their dynamic blend of jaw-dropping artistry to venues across the country on tour.
The company will be diving into its respected repertoire and bringing along popular set pieces like Voyage, Trajectoire, Passengers, Cubicle and more. When the performers take to the stage with giant, almost surrealist structures, they start climbing, rocking and leaping off them in daring displays of kinetic art-in-motion. Billed as 'live abstract paintings', these visionary works are sure to illicit gasps, raise pulses and shocked silences wherever they roam.
