Alwin Nikolais Centennial
Alwin Nikolais's THE CRYSTAL AND THE SPHERE involves an array of strange and humorous characters woven into a colorful Space Fantasy against vibrant light projections and magical black light images. With such delightful titles as "Waddle Birds," "Outer Space Clown," and "Chess Skaters," this performance will fire the imaginations of all ages!
Originally commissioned by the Kennedy Center for its Imagination Celebration, this dance was praised by Anna Kisselgoff of the New York Times noting, "The work was intended for children, but the playful abstractions that make up the Nikolais signature might, in this case, appeal even more to adults."
Don't miss out on this phantasmagorical show-stopper! Nikolais always said, "When audiences come to the theatre they come to see theatrical magic, not dramatic or political problems, but magic." And in this show, he does just that.
