The Philadelphia-based company brings choreographer Ronen Koresh’s intense and intricately beautiful choreography to the DWT stage with ev∙o∙lu∙tion, a work that has received resounding praise from critics as a gritty and timeless piece that explores dance as an eternal language, predating spoken language: a visceral, universal form of physical expression.

Don't wait to get your tickets to experience this phenomenal dance company.  BUY TICKETS NOW.   Patrons may attend both a pre-performance discussion at 7 PM and a post performance Q & A on both evenings.

In addition to the evening performances, the public is invited to take part in Koresh’s Asheville residency, which will include master classes, lectures, and more. Please check www.dwtheatre.com/koresh-residency for additional details as event locations and times are announced.

Asheville's Diana Worthan Theatre Presents LEO: The Anti-Gravity Show this Weekend

March 28 - 29 at The Diana Wortham Theatre, 2 South Pack Square in downtown Asheville NC:  LEO: The Anti-Gravity Show.  LEO is the unusual journey of an otherwise ordinary man whose world becomes physically unhinged. In this witty, one-man show of acrobatic physical theatre, Leo lives at a ninety-degree angle to the rest of the world.  "With fluid, real-world handstands, tumbles, and falls projected by an ingenious video stage concept, the simple act of standing up is transformed into a stupendous feat, while walking up a wall becomes the most effortless and natural event."

The show has won awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it made an unprecedented three-year run.
