Kidd Pivot Frankfurt RM at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival

"Art of the highest caliber. And it's spellbinding" --The Seattle Times

A major hit of Festival 2011, "Dark Matters" is the first of the 80th Anniversary "Back by Popular Demand" presentations. An audience and critical success, "Dark Matters" is a mystery thriller told in dance and brilliant theatrical invention, created by the international dance sensation Crystal Pite. The unforgettable dancers of Kidd Pivot conjure unseen forces and intriguing characters when a lonely artist builds a puppet, instigating a series of fateful twists and turns that unfold on stage in eloquent, playful, and astonishing ways. "Dark Matters" sold out last season; don't miss it this year.

About the Choreographer: Jacob's Pillow Dance Award winner and acclaimed choreographer Crystal Pite is widely regarded as one of the most exceptional contemporary choreographers of today. Her company is based in both Vancouver and Frankfurt, where she danced for several years with William Forsythe. Pite has created work for Nederlands Dans Theater, Ballett Frankfurt, Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal (where she was Resident Choreographer 2001-2004), Ballet British Columbia, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, and for her own company.
