“High-caliber acrobatics, aerial artistry and moments of absurd clownery” fill San Juan Community Theatre’s Whittier stage THIS Friday, April 3 at 7:30 pm.
In their first appearance in Friday Harbor, Acrobatic Conundrum shares the mesmerizing production, The Language of Chance, drawing inspiration from a story by Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel. The six acrobats find themselves at odds between the sensations of falling forever and the task of looking for a story in a nonsensical world. The piece features two chapters, each with a respective director (Seattle’s KT Niehoff and Elizabeth Klob) and the contrast of the two together evokes a tale of imaginary translation, absurd truth and calculated risk.
Company artists say their goal is to surprise all “stripes” of the audience as they blur the lines between dance, theater and circus, inventing their own form of storytelling.
Since their debut in 2012, Acrobatic Conundrum has performed in various venues around the Pacific Northwest, headlined the Chicago Contemporary Circus Festival and was a featured performer at the Vancouver CircusFest.
Tickets are available at www.sjctheatre.org or the SJCT box office 378-3210.
