PEAR COWBOY PLANET reunites Chris & Justin
on stage after a nearly three year hiatus. Joining them in revisiting
and destroying their youth are longtime collaborators Jeff Larson and
Zach Steel with the help of Genevieve Bennett, Taryn Griggs and Katy Pyle
as the Zambonis. They will be accompanied by an otherworldly sound design
by Justin Jones & Karinne Keithley and transportive lights by David
Fritz.
“They will have you asking yourself ‘What the fuck!?!’
– when you witness their unique blend of classic ballet, modern
dance and physical shtick, all informed with a pop culture sensibility.”
Nate Grove, itsrandom.com
