Add to Calendar

Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe
Prince Music Theater
1412 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, PA

Welcome to a vast playground, a place for experiments between two riveting performers with seemingly opposing styles: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the sinuous western contemporary dancer whose movements ride a wave of chaos, and the Indian dancer Shantala Shivalingappa, whose exquisite control of movement comes from her mastery of the classical Indian form Kuchipudi. Role-play, seduction, imitation, human-sized puppets, blindfolds, masks, music: all are employed to win the other over, to test boundaries, and to express the joy of communicating through dance.

September 15 to 17 at 8 p.m.

$25 to $30 (General Admission)
$15 (Student and 25 and under)
