Ultra-modern pop-punk juggling! is one of the world’s best jugglers and in this piece, he shares cutting-edge tricks inspired by corkscrews, adrenalin, and high-tech seatbelts. Rollercoaster is quirky, joyful, badass, and a visually stunning ride! Come see Rollercoaster at 7pm on Saturday, September 5 at Cornell's Schwartz Center.

ATELOPUS is a vertical dance and projection performance inspired by Ecuador’s endangered harlequin frogs, whose disappearance signals the collapse of ecosystems. As two frogs lose their habitat and transform into humans, the work becomes an urgent reflection on water, environmental destruction and the rights of nature.

See the wall dancers at 8:45pm on 9/4 and 9/5 in Press Bay ‘s Press Bay Court, as well as a special appearance at Troy Lingelbach ‘s ECDYSIS, 9/6 at 6:00pm at Cornell’s Hoffman Challenge Course.
