Birdbrain

Tuesday & Wednesday, April 12 & 13
8 pm, Lobero Theatre

“The most energetically athletic dance company to establish itself Down Under since the invention of the kangaroo.”
—Toronto Star

Acclaimed for fast, demanding dance fraught with risk and charged with urgency, Australian Dance Theatre is riveting to watch. Under the artistic directorship of Garry Stewart, the company takes a radically distinctive trajectory characterized by a no-compromise attitude that ties thrilling movement together with soundscapes and lush video effects and lighting. The company will perform the Swan Lake-derived Birdbrain that the BBC called “a must for any lover of dance.”
