Double Edge Theatre to perform at The Dance Center

Double Edge Theatre, co-presented with the Columbia College Chicago Theater Department and The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, will be presented at The Dance Center (1306 S. Michigan Ave.) on January 18 & 19 at 8:00pm.

Rooted in Jerzy Grotowski's Eastern European theatre practice, Double Edge Theatre is a deeply collaborative, Massachusetts-based ensemble working in a unique form of devised physical theatre incorporating choreography, aerial flight, puppetry and circus arts. The Grand Parade (of the Twentieth Century), an original, multi-disciplinary piece of theatre is the first creation in the company’s multi-year Chagall Cycle. Imagined through the lens of visionary artist Marc Chagall's paintings, The Grand Parade takes audiences through a kaleidoscopic mash-up of the 20th century that echoes Chagall’s life, which spanned nearly a century, and summons the artist’s sensibilities and personal memories. Conceived and directed by artistic director Stacy Klein, original score by Russian composer Alexander Bakshi. The Grand Parade is co-commissioned by Columbia College Chicago’s Theatre Department.

"unpredictable and imaginative." — American Theatre Magazine
"Double Edge’s artists surround us with stunning visual imagery, haunting vocal harmonies [and] jaw-dropping aerial feats.” — Boston Globe
