Join Pilobolus’s UP!, where the imaginative whimsy of Mary Poppins meets the kaleidoscopic energy of a night at Studio 54.
Using lighted umbrellas developed in collaboration with MIT, you will create a visually stunning, large-scale, live performance piece—no training or rehearsals needed! Build a feast for the eyes while you move to music in a lively, collaborative community experience led by dance theatre company Pilobolus, or just enjoy the performance as a spectator. Presented in partnership with Opera Philadelphia and Village of Industry and Art.
Free and open to all ages. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required.
