Diavolo, a company comprised of dancers, gymnasts and actors will perform at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, June 16. Called the "National Football League" of modern dance, Diavolo is a cinematic experience of powerful images. The outrageous sets of everyday items provide the back-drop for dramatic movement--leaping, flying, twirling--that create metaphors and narratives of the human condition. Jacques Heim, Diavolo's Artistic Director, says "building a team that allows for complete trust has been essential to creating a kind of work where dancers are inspired to take serious risks."
