Dynamo Théâtre
me me me


Saturday, January 12, 11a.m.

A talented mix of gymnasts, jugglers and mimes, Dynamo Théâtre has mastered the art of imaginative storytelling through acrobatic movement. In me me me, we follow the escapades of Mathilde, an overly enthusiastic student outcast by her friends, who finds that fitting in at school is tricky and calls for drastic measures that take everyone by surprise. Creating a balance between movement and music, Dynamo Théâtre’s unique physical vocabulary and storytelling are sure to delight all.

The Campbell Brothers

Saturday, February 16, 11 a.m.

Just when it seemed that all the traditional forms of American music had been identified, the soaring, moaning and driving sound of steel guitars surfaced and American music was forever changed. Then along came the Campbell Brothers and the whole concept of playing the steel guitar changed. A rare music tradition, “sacred steel” is rooted in the African-American Pentecostal church and produces a growling, wailing, shouting and singing sound that coaxes audiences out of their seats and into the aisles.
