Diamond Jubilee, Featuring Third Coast Percussion (Presented by Twyla Tharp Dance and CAL Performances)

  • Zellerbach Hall Bancroft Way at Dana Street, UC Berkeley campus Berkeley, CA 97720 United States (map)

Dancers with costume rat faces jump around a huddled scared group.

Choreographer Twyla Tharp celebrates 60 years of crafting strikingly original, accessible, and uncategorizable works with a new collaboration with Philip Glass, the artists’ first partnership in nearly 40 years. Performed live by Chicago’s Grammy-winning Third Coast Percussion ensemble, the score is based on Glass’ 1993–99 work Aguas da Amazonia and reflects on the crisis of climate change. Tharp also revives Diabelli, her 1998 triumph that challenges 11 dancers and a live pianist to embody Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.
