Peak Performances' 2018-2019 season of genre-and-convention-defying performances continues with Smashed, Gandini Juggling's acclaimed work inspired by the choreography of Pina Bausch, directed by Sean Gandini and assistant directed by Kati Yla-Hokkala. Smashed is set at a tea party with a group of mild-tempered, buttoned-up attendees, juggling apples in perfect, cordial unison-until their movements reveal and give way to growing, often gendered power tensions in a crescendo of destruction. Set to a soundtrack ranging from Bach to Louis Armstrong to Tammy Wynette, the Gandinis display a virtuosic blend of skills, precision, and theatricality that leaves the audience breathless. Formed in 1992 by world-renowned jugglers Gandini and Yla-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus. In 2016 the company contributed juggling choreography for the Olivier Award-winning English National Opera (ENO) production of Philip Glass's Akhnaten. Prior to their Peak Performances engagement, Gandini Juggling has been working with MSU mathematical sciences professors Mika Munakata and Ashuwin Vaidya to develop a juggling classroom module for their National Science Foundation-funded project called Engaged Learning through Creativity in Mathematics and Science. Smashed comes to the Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University (1 Normal Ave., Montclair, NJ) December 13-16.

In three weeks' time the much anticipated autumn tour of Didy Veldman's The Knot, for her company Umanoove, kicks off at Lakeside Arts, Nottingham today 6 November.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is widely regarded as being the product of a collaboration between Shakespeare and George Wilkins. Scholars theorize that the first two acts, recounting the various travels of Pericles, may have been written by Wilkins, while the final acts were pure Shakespeare. It is estimated that the play was written around 1607. One of the most interesting aspects of Pericles is that it doesn't fit a typical Shakespearean genre. What seems like a tragedy ends with a beautiful and romantic reunion. Not only that, but it is filled with surprising and delightful elements of comedy. This was easily one of my favorite Shakespeare plays to watch, and it can be seen at Gamut Theatre from November 3rd-25th.
