Premiering at the Kimmel Center at Broad and Spruce on May 9th and 10th, “Spooky Action” is Miro Dance Theatre’s interpretation of Albert Einstein’s theory on the unexplainable relationship that quantum particles exhibited, even over long distances. Einstein coined the phenomenon “spooky action at a distance.” Part dance and part video performance,  Miro’s “Spooky Action” explores that relationship – and strikingly similar relationships between people.

The production is a seamless integration of contemporary dance, choreographed by critically acclaimed dancer and choreographer Amanda Miller, and cutting-edge video projection, created by filmmaker and video producer Tobin Rothlein. The video, projected onto high-tech backdrops which are intermittently opaque and transparent, acts as a fifth dancer to complement Miro’s four live dancers – Dana Dlugosz, Joy Havens, Scott Lowe and Paul Struck – on stage.

Tickets are $25 at the Kimmel Box office or www.mirodancetheatre.org
