Smart Bets: LEO: The Anti-Gravity Show

LEO: The Anti-Gravity Show is "an eye-teasing, grin-inducing, deeply impressive work of sustained absurdist magic," says Time Out New York. In a playful, one-man performance, the acrobatic Leo lives at a 90-degree angle to the rest of the world. “With fluid, real-world handstands, tumbles and falls projected by an ingenious video stage concept, the simple act of standing up is transformed into a stupendous feat, while walking up a wall becomes the most effortless and natural event,” says a press release. LEO will come to Asheville for two showings at the Diana Wortham Theatre on Friday and Saturday, March 28 and 29, at 8 p.m. $35. dwtheatre.com. Photo by Heiko Kalmbach
