At the 32nd Kalamata International Dance Festival, choreographers will blend dance, circus arts, acrobatics and illusion to explore instability, gravity and perception. Opening the festival on July 17, French acrobat and choreographer Yoann Bourgeois’ “He Who Falls” (photo) places six performers on a rotating suspended platform, examining fragility and collective response to forces beyond control.
