STREB EXTREME ACTION returns with INTO THIN AIR, a thrilling display of high-impact feats by Choreographer Elizabeth Streb. Harder, faster, and higher than before, the titular event, “INTO THIN AIR,” centers around a striking, purpose-built structure: a trampoline anchored between two tall scaffolds, with retractable ramps and parallel bars suspended ten feet above the surface. This dynamic ecosystem amplifies risk, rhythm, and STREB’s enduring pursuit of one elemental direction: up. Commissioned for the Lincoln Center Festival in 2006, “TIP” is a prototypic teeter-totter for the stout of heart, posing a steep yet smooth challenge for the Action Heroes. The performance also features the return of some of STREB’s favorite Action Events where bodies and physics collide — from the split-second ducking and dodging of “CHAOS MASS” to the precarious balance of “MUSIC BOX,” and the ever-increasing intensity of “MAVERICK SURF.” INTO THIN AIR negotiates the exhilaration of soaring to new heights while confronting the reality of the crash. For the best experience, we recommend arriving early! While every spot offers a unique perspective, some may have more limited sightlines. Runtime is approximately 55 minutes.
