Aerial theater artist Chelsea Bacon combines drama and dance to tell stories within suspended landscapes. Trickpony, her collaboration with the genre-stretching ballerina Sally Rousse, is a startling piece about brain function, savantism, and animal perception.
This groundbreaking work of beauty, passion, and gray matter is based on the case study of a young autistic savant, the writings of autistic author Temple Grandin, and the artists’ personal experiences with brain tumors. The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls it, “a wholly inventive look at the wild, mute and imagistic confines of the autistic mind.”
