Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity
“Dance as contact sport, carnival sideshow, and high-risk daredevilry.” (Variety)
The “Evel Knievel of dance,” Elizabeth Streb pushes her dancers to trade fear for “extreme action” as they walk on walls, spin from cables, and aim for the sky. Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity takes us up close as Streb wills her company to defy gravity, and the dancers test the limits of their own bodies to spectacular ends.
