Patio Plastico Plus
Junk's current touring program, Patio Plastico Plus, is a total of 7 pieces performed in two 40-minute segments with one 15-minute intermission. Each segment is performed with little to no pauses in between the works to keep the show moving swiftly. Music delivers an essential part of the program, continuously shifting the mood one moment from light and playful to lyrical and stirring the next.
Keeping with JUNK's choreographic style, much of the choreography uses found objects – from trashcans and pogo sticks to broken ladders and windowpanes. The dancers perform with these props and set pieces in unforeseen ways of clever invention. The works are lit vividly with dynamic and evocative lighting sequences, transforming the stage from scene to scene. The dancers' finely tuned bodies move with daring and dexterity "displaying just how beautiful and mysterious the human body can be." ~ Philadelphia Weekly
