Pilobolus  

Friday, October 9, 2009    8 pm

Merrill Auditorium, Portland, Maine

The eternally imaginative dancer-illusionists of Pilobolus – one of the great pioneers of American contemporary dance – thrill audiences with ingenious choreography, daring physicality, and raw athleticism, spiced with the sensuality of the human body and a hefty dose of humor. Arms, legs, and torsos are molded into ever-shifting shapes, while spectacular lighting and costumes complete the otherworldly effect of human sculptures folding and unfolding. Founded at Dartmouth College in 1971, Pilobolus is nearing its fourth decade of innovative movement and sumptuous physicality that continues to influence contemporary dance worldwide.
