Opening Wednesday: GROUPE EMILE DUBOIS, direct from France
Only at Jacob's Pillow July 15-19, the U.S. premiere of Jean-Claude Gallotta's dance-theatre production Des gens qui dansent (People Who Dance) brings life to the stage. Direct from France in their only U.S. appearance this year, Gallotta's dance company, Groupe Emile Dubois, plays a host of characters you will want to get to know. A mother and her daughter, "a man who came out of nowhere," Little Red Riding Hood, a dancer in high heels, and two merry baritones, among others, tell their stories through inventive contemporary movement. In passionate duos, tender trios, and unusual quartets, the dancers embody tenderness, love, absurdity, joy, and sadness as they celebrate the ups and downs of life.
