The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts welcomes Jacob Jonas The Company (JJTC) for a performance on Friday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. in the Bram Goldsmith Theater.
JJTC mixes contemporary ballet, break dancing and acrobatic movement to create a visceral storytelling experience. The program will include two world premieres, including “f l y” and the short film “Grey,” set at the Getty Museum. The two premieres will be performed along with “In a Room on Broad St.” (2014), inspired by Jonas’ ideas about how society views competition, and “Obstacles” (2016), based on Jonas’ friend Mallory Smith’s perseverance overcoming cystic fibrosis.
“For those lucky to catch a glimpse of the site-specific work of Jacob Jonas featured at our WelcomeFest celebration in September, they know they are in for a high energy, unique experience,” said Paul Crewes, The Wallis’ artistic director. “We are very excited to support an artist of Jacob’s talent early on in his career.”
Tickets start at $29. The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts is located at 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., in Beverly Hills. For information, call (310)746-4000, or visit TheWallis.org.
