You’re liable to experience an altered viewpoint after a performance from this unique group. Novel and inspiring, the Lookingglass Theatre Company will leave you with the sensation that you’ve just been on a rousing journey not through space, but through paths forged by the human spirit. They seem to want nothing more than to change your perspective, starting with a theater in the round that allows audience members on two levels of seating to observe every corner of the sparse stage and overhead scaffolding. Cast members dangle and pose throughout productions, and it will come as no surprise that some of the ensemble got their start in Cirque du Soleil and various other circus productions. Featuring adaptations of everything from Hindu and Greek mythology to Dickens, the Lookingglass Theatre Company seeks to turn the traditional conception of theater on its head with a seamless fusion of storytelling, dance, and circus performance. The only thing more beautiful than the tales they tell is the grace of their choreography. These performers make it all look effortless, even when they give a convincingly emotional delivery while hanging by a rope above their fellow actors. The Company’s self-professed goal is to examine, through ancient and modern stories, the depths of the human spirit – and they’ve succeeded. It’s certainly enough to restore the faith of those skeptics who think they’ve seen everything live theater has to offer.
