Pilobolus

Blast off into the multiverse of Pilobolus with Trips, a seamless voyage through gravity-defying feats and emotional landscapes. Each piece flows into the next with explosive athleticism, physical poetry and sly humor that brings audiences on a trip to infinite realities. The exhilarating, retro-futuristic “Flight” (2025), inspired by founding member and pilot Lee Harris, astounds with Pilobolus’s visually thrilling
yet cheeky wit. The 1991 classic “Particle Zoo” returns with its feral, testosterone-fueled quartet of raw power. “Lamentation Variations,” a kaleidoscopic, tradition-breaking reimagining of Martha Graham’s iconic 1930 solo, opens three distinct
portals—trippy, mythic, epic—into the evolving Pilobolus huniverse. Along the way, familiar favorites resurface, and a world premiere in 2026 unlocks a
brand-new dimension. From the skies to the soul to galaxies beyond, Trips isn’t just a series of works—it’s a single, shifting experience. This is Pilobolus as you’ve never seen it: bigger, deeper, and more transporting than ever.
