Lanterna Magica, Darkness and Light, Razor : Mirror, & Symbiosis by Pilobolus “Pilobolus is all about defying expectations. Its dancers move as if there were no gravity, connect as if biologically conjoined and create otherworldly environments.” –The News & Observer Darkness and Light was commissioned by the ADF with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Awards for New Work.
