Digging in the Dark at Project Artaud Theater
A bounce-juggling surface that receives vibrations and triggers images. A
six-person aerial structure. A LED headpiece that changes color with a toss
of the head. And did we mention innovative dance? This is what makes Capacitor
one of the most kick-ass dance companies in the Bay Area, and it's also what
landed them in Wired magazine and on Tech TV. Well, actually, those effects
are brand-new as part of Capacitor's world premiere (the first in two years)
that takes the audience on a journey through the Earth's layers to the core--a
sort of metaphor for human consciousness. Inspired by modern geophysics and
created in collaboration with the likes of The Crucible (for the aerial structure),
Digging in the Dark apparently utilizes more than just the theater's stage.
No surprise--after all, we fell in love with Capacitor the first time we saw
them climb the walls in glow-in-the-dark costumes at SomArts some four years
ago.
Playing October 20-30
