Krannert Center Events: 2022-2023 Season

About This Event

For this 50th-anniversary celebration, Pilobolus questions its own “givens,” turns its traditions sideways, and brings its past into the future. As fresh and vibrant as ever, Pilobolus—that feisty arts organism—puts the “Oh!” in Big Five-OH! and continues to morph its way thrillingly into audiences’ hearts and minds. The celebration includes signature works from vintage classics to their trend-setting innovative work in shadow.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Tuesday, September 13th at 7:30pm in the Tryon Festival Theatre

See the Krannert Center website for more details and to purchase tickets.
