Newman Center Presents

A rebellious dance company since 1971, Pilobolus has tested the limits of human physicality to explore the beauty and power of connected bodies for 50 years. For this 50th anniversary celebration, Pilobolus questions its own “givens,” turns its traditions sideways, and brings its past into the future. The celebration includes signature works from vintage classic to their trend setting innovative work in shadow.
