"Pilobolus is a mind-blowing troupe of wildly creative and physically daring dancers who leap, fly, intertwine and break all the rules...Audiences should expect the unexpected with Pilobolus."  - NYC Newsday

Pilobolus began in 1971 as an outsider dance company, and quickly became renowned for its imaginative and athletic exploration of creative collaboration. Nearly 40 years later, it has evolved into a pioneering American cultural institution of the 21st century. The mass appeal of Pilobolus has stemmed from their physical vocabulary that blends art with transforming acrobatics, molding it into a rousing poetry. Their unique multi-bodied weight sharing and creation of clever visual illusions are the hallmarks of this group that will simply blow your mind.

Named after a feisty fungus, the multi-award winning Pilobolus, has received a Primetime Emmy Award, Berlin Critic's Prize, the Brandeis Award, and numerous other awards for their collaborative choreographic approach with an executive director, three artistic directors, and seven contributing dancers. The famed group will return to Northrop with two separate performances featuring classic mind-morphing programs.
