Stunning Acrobatics and Visual Effects: GALUMPHA is Coming to Symphony Space
Can people fly? They can if they're Galumpha. Combining stunning acrobatics, striking visual effects, physical comedy, and inventive choreography, Galumpha transforms three human bodies into one floating, flying, and gravity-defying piece of art. Winners of the Edinburgh Festival Critics' Choice Award, world-class acrobatic choreographers Andy Horowitz, Gil Young Choi, and Brianna Barnett create a "human jungle gym" of kinetic energy.
This is no special effect or digital trickery. Galumpha calls on imagination, muscle and merriment to create a sensory feast of images, turning the human body into shapes and structural forms that seem to break all the laws of physics. Audiences young and old are caught up in this whirlwind of movement that consistently brings spectators to their feet and takes Galumpha off theirs.
?Formed in 2002, Galumpha highlights include "Velcro" as seen on The Late Show with David Letterman, and "Clackers," seen on MTV, Showtime, A & E, Just for Laughs in Montreal, and by over one billion television viewers around the globe. Other pieces feature experiments in human architecture set to music by Rachmaninov, Mahler, and the virtuoso Czech band Jablkon.
The show is produced in association with DCA Productions. Saturday, February 11 at 11 am, tickets: $17 ($14 for members), available here.
