Dance shows off the beauty of the human body even more memorably than the stationary craft of sculpture or the kinetic art of sculpture shot put. Catch a glimpse of airborne performers with today's GrouponLive deal to see Pilobolus at the Paramount Theatre. For $17, you get one ticket for seating in the upper-balcony section (a $35 value). All performances begin at 8 p.m. Choose between the following dates:
- Friday, February 17
- Saturday, February 18
With a history stretching back 40 years, Pilobolus's innovative choreography has stayed on the cutting edge with fluid movement and colorful costumes. Troupe members use creative positioning and upper-body-testing lifts to create stunning shapes that mimic plants, animals, and the stupid faces of anyone who ever made fun of them. Each piece's fluid choreography creates an ever-shifting panorama of bodies, blurring the physical lines between each performer and dazzling guests with belief-beggaring spectacle. Originally opened in 1915 as a vaudeville venue and restored to its baroque-revival grandeur in the 1970s, the Paramount Theatre ensconces patrons in old-timey elegance more enjoyably than a hyperbaric chamber made of top hats.
