A Gravity-Defying Performance
LEO: The Anti-Gravity Show is a mind-bending, funny, surreal and surprisingly touching show that challenges the senses with the question, “What would happen if the laws of gravity were to suddenly change?”
Winner of the 2011 Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, LEO is the unusual journey of an otherwise ordinary man whose world becomes physically unhinged. In this witty, one-man show of acrobatic physical theatre, Leo lives at a ninety-degree angle to the rest of the world.
With fluid, real-world handstands, tumbles, and falls projected by an ingenious video stage concept, the simple act of standing up is transformed into a stupendous feat, while walking up a wall becomes the most effortless and natural event.
Friday & Saturday, March 28 & 29, 2014 at 8 p.m. Diana Wortham Theatre. Tickets: Regular $35, Student $30, Children 12 & under $15; Student rush day-of-show (with valid I.D.) $10. Tickets/Info: (828) 257-4530 or online at www.dwtheatre.com.
