By DANCECleveland DANCECleveland is pleased to be presenting one of Israel’s premier dance companies, Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak Dance Company at the Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 3:00 p.m.

From the Innovative minds of Israeli choreographer Inbal Pinto and director Avshalom Pollak comes Oyster, a magical and mysterious work that combines the dreamlike qualities of Fellini and the keen intellect of Pina Bausch.  Enter a fantastic circus-world of wandering street acrobats and oddly beautiful creatures.  Performances and dancers in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs, and tutus alternately become puppets or puppeteers.  The unique movement combines ballet, contemporary mime and acrobatics in an unforgettable magical performance.

DANCECleveland is the proud recipient of a grant from the Knight Foundation for our Akron presentation of MOMIX in October of 2011.
