Poetics: a ballet brut

Described as an, “awesome and awkward tour de force,” Poetics: a ballet brut is do-it-yourself theatre at its most mischievous. Common gestures and movements, like brushing back a friend’s hair, are taken to hilarious new heights unhampered by the performers’ complete lack of formal dance training. Set to delightfully cheesy pop ditties like Dreamweaver and The Safety Dance, Poetics: a ballet brut builds into a skewed dance of life in a surprising finale.
