STREB Presents "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" at New Victory Theater
Company:
STREB EXTREME ACTION
About the Show
Feel the undeniable intensity of real movement as the fearless Action Heroes of STREB EXTREME ACTION fall, flip, fly and crash in a marathon of physical fortitude. Across a series of action events choreographed by daredevil Elizabeth Streb, she and her Action Heroes name the impossible and then do it. Busting out of their comfort zones, they harness the power of life's invisible forces—gravity, velocity, momentum, impact—to propel their bodies where most would never go. They slam to the ground, explode into the air and inspire genuine athletic awe. But no: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
"Impossible to look away"
—The New York Times
