With its acrobatic, quirky and witty works, the famed modern dance collective Pilobolus creates surprising shapes and moving sculptures using the human body. In 1985, The Joffrey became the first ballet company to present a Pilobolus work when it premiered its production of Untitled, in which six dancers render the surreally hilarious courtship of two proper Victorian women by two gentlemen suitors. The ladies, dainty in their lace dresses, soon reveal new shapes as the sons they bear emerge and carry them on their shoulders, creating giantesses who dominate the stage and the men who share it with them.
