DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion uses dance to explore the relationship between the human body and its architectural environment. Meticulously designed architectural structures serve as the central inspiration for each work, activated by the stylistically varied and intensely physical choreography that reveals how we are affected emotionally, physically and socially by the spaces we inhabit.

The performance will feature two pieces, Passenger and Trajectoire. In Passenger, the dancers reckon with themes of journey and transition on and around a giant morphing staircase with multiple doors, passageways, and shifting surfaces.

Trajectoire is a visceral and emotional journey through the ebb and flow of the human experience. As the performers struggle to find their balance on a voyage of destiny and destination, Trajectoire shows the transcendence of the human soul against all odds.
