The renowned acrobatic dance troupe DIAVOLO leaps, flips and spins info the historic Sierra Madre Playhouse with a family-friendly performance of T.R.U.S.T., a spectacular gravity-defying blend of movement and circus arts.
The performance explores themes of trust with the company’s dancers, acrobats and actors working in perfect precision as they slice through the air and tumble from massive structures and everyday objects such as ladders and benches. Their air-born movement illustrates that teamwork is as essential in dance as it is in life.
DIAVOLO has been pushing the boundaries of dance, movement and storytelling for audiences around the globe since 1992. Over 100 million people in more than 14 countries have witnessed the bold, gravity-defying signature work that is DIAVOLO, including on America’s Got Talent Season 12 and at the 2024 GRAMMYs.
Parisian born Jacques Heim is the dynamic creator and director of DIAVOLO, which takes a daring, compelling, and uncompromising look at contemporary human life through physicality. Heim studied dance, film, and choreography in France, the United States, and England and has an MFA in Theatre, Dance, and Film from the California Institute of the Arts. He created Diavolo Dance Theatre in 1992 after graduating from Cal Arts. Due to the unusual and innovative way that Diavolo works with architectural structures, the creative team at Cirque du Soleil hired him to choreograph a show in Las Vegas entitled “Ka,” which opened in 2005 and is still running. DIAVOLO has performed internationally in Scotland, Japan, Chile, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Holland, Germany, and Austria. He was also a creative director for the opening ceremony of the 16th Asian Game in Guangzhou, China and a consulting choreographer on Ice Age Live!
