‘Invisiball’ coming to Brooklyn this week
“Invisiball,” an inventive, comedic performance about the world’s most popular sport, is coming to Brooklyn from June 24 to 26.
Gowanus Art + Production (GAP Presents!) is welcoming Nadine Bommer Theater Dance’s production, which features 10 delicate female dancers who transform themselves into virile, ultra-macho soccer players. A soundtrack of roaring crowds and rhythmic soccer hymns is paired with Bommer’s unique theater-dance language, turning the open space of 501 Union (at 501 Union St.) into a surprising, hilarious, multicultural soccer field right from the kickoff.
The performances begin at 8 p.m. each of the three nights, and tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door (see http://bit.ly/INVISITIX for tickets).
Having just completed a successful worldwide tour of “Invisiball,” including performances in Berlin, Prague, Copenhagen, Pittsburgh and Macau and collecting numerous awards along the way, these shows in New York will mark the first performances with Bommer’s new U.S.-based company members. The U.S. cast has studied performing arts, theater and dance at prestigious schools and academies including LaGuardia High School for Performing Arts, Alvin Ailey School, the Juilliard School and the Joffrey Ballet School, among others.
