Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak Dance Company

It’s dance theatre at its best when fantasy meets sideshow spectacle in Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak’s master work Oyster, a full-length Philadelphia premiere about a fantastic circus world of wandering street acrobats and other bizarre characters dressed in doll-like make-up, spiky blonde wigs and tutus. Drawing its name from filmmaker Tim Burton’s (Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland) book of short poems and sketches, Oyster is a witty blend of ballet, mime, modern dance, physical comedy and acrobatics employing fantastical costumes and set to an eclectic score. The Village Voice described this masterful work as “part surreal vaudeville, part circus, and part toy store after midnight...a delight for the eye” and the Washington Post states it is “a work of stunning beauty that transcends time and place.”
