Revisor
Kidd Pivot
Wednesday, March 1, 7:30 PM at The Paramount Theatre
Watch your favorite conventions be taken to new extremes.
Integrating movement, original music, text, and rich visual design, Kidd Pivot’s performance work is assembled with recklessness and rigor, balancing sharp exactitude with irreverence and risk. Jonathon Young and internationally renowned choreographer Crystal Pite revise an archetypal comic plot to serve as the basis for choreography in a true hybrid of contemporary theatre and dance. In Revisor, eight Kidd Pivot dancers embody the recorded dialogue of some of Canada’s finest actors, exploring conflict, comedy and corruption in the potent relationship between language and the body.
Presented by Seattle Theatre Group in Partnership with On the Boards, at The Paramount Theatre
