In an otherworldly orgy of atoms and dancing human meteors, Capacitor's latest
triumph investigates how it all began.
In the Beginning
Don't expect a little ditty about Adam and Eve. Capacitor's latest creation
is a conceptually brilliant dance piece that tells the scientific story of
our planet's birth and existence. Revealed through Jodi Lomask's intuitive
and impeccable choreography are the Milky Way's early days, the emergence
of one-celled organisms and the history of evolution.
Playing With Fire
Given that Capacitor has performed at Burning Man, it's not surprising the
troupe has a fetish for flames. Dancers illustrate light travel and star life
with actual torches and battery-powered light sticks; to depict the essence
of continual movement, jugglers pass objects seamlessly through the air.
Science Is Sexy
Capacitor's bodysuited acrobatic dancers delve into the basic premises of
reproduction, desire and creature codependence through a series of complex,
amoebaelike movements, illustrating how particles—and humans—instinctively
connect for some greater reason. This baby's no joke. (Karen Macklin)
