After spellbinding performances at LakeFest 2018, the gravity-defying Italian aerialists return to LakeFest with SPHERE, a thrilling new spectacle featuring dancers suspended 60 feet above the ground. Combining street theater and vertical dance, SPHERE takes the audience on a unique journey of hope, destruction, and rebirth, prompting reflection on the fragility of life and our impact on Earth. SPHERE is a powerful environmental-themed performance that tells the story of a lone astronaut who, discouraged by the devastation of Earth caused by environmental degradation and over-reliance on technology, embarks on a mission to seed a new planet. See them perform as part of the Columbia Festival of the Arts’ Free LakeFest Weekend presented by the Merriweather Arts and Culture Center, June 12-14, at the Downtown Columbia Lakefront.
