Berkeley Arts Presents:
"The Orbital Variations" & "full spectrum love songs"
Right Brain Performancelab and Pet The Tiger join forces to present "The Orbital Variations," a cosmically inspired conceptual ballet and emergent collaborative love letter to the strangely weak force that anchors people, beings and objects firmly to the earth even as it sets in motion the smallest atomic structures and the spinning of the universe. Pet The Tiger performs "full spectrum love songs" peppered with poems and noise, lamentations and standards. Celebrate inventor/composer David Samas' birthday with an evening of distractions, delights and entertainments to exalt the senses.
There will be a single intermission and a reception following the show.
