Pilobolus is coming to Chico Nov. 8 - Dance, Mime, Acrobats & Theater

Chico Performances presents the innovative dance troupe, Pilobolus performing on Nov. 8 in Laxson Auditorium at 7:30pm.

Ever-evolving - and always surprising - the members of Pilobolus are not only dancers: they are also acrobats and theater and mime artists; as zany as the Marx Brothers, as clever as Houdini; poets who convert their bodies into interchangeable and interlocking parts. This troupe of superhuman artistic athletes continues to turn heads and eyes with its novel approach to gravity, balance, and over-the-top partnerings. Especially entrancing is their shadow work featured at the 2007 Academy Awards. This performance is supported, in part, by the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Tickets for this performance are $26 for Premium, $21 for Adult, $19 for Senior and $15 for Student/Child.

To purchase tickets and get more information please visit the Web site or call the University Box Office at 898-6333.

University Film Series: THE SACRIFICE, Nov. 10

University Film Series
Tuesdays at 7:30pm
Ayres 106 (Little Theatre)
$3 donation appreciated

Nov. 10
The Sacrifice (Offret-Sacrificatio) (1986, Sweden) 145 min. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. Sponsored by the Humanities Center and introduced by Troy Jollimore, Philosophy and Humanities Center*

This film is a haunting vision of a world threatened with nuclear annihilation. As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of their patriarch, Alexander (Erland Josephson), their mood of celebration turns horrific when news of the outbreak of World War III reaches their remote Baltic island. With his arresting palette of luminous grays washing over the bleak landscape—captured on film by Ingmar Bergman’s longtime collaborator Sven Nykvist—Tarkovsky conveys the family’s psychological devastation as they enter into a waking nightmare. Faced with certain extinction, Alexander performs the ultimate sacrifice, entering into a Faustian bargain with God to save his loved ones from the “sickening, animal fear” which grips them. The director’s final film, made as he was dying of cancer, this is a profoundly moving personal masterpiece, a redemptive tragedy steeped in unforgettable imagery and heart-wrenching emotion.

• Part of the Humanities Center’s year-long theme “Memory, Nostalgia, Ruins.”
