Strange Fruit and Summer’s Palate
Today at lunchtime, we headed west to the World Financial Center to catch the live performance of “Swoon!” by Melbourne-based performing arts company Strange Fruit. The unique troupe specializes in large-scale, acrobatically choreographed pieces performed using 12-foot high flexible poles.
Over 20 awe-inspiring minutes, the expressive quartet emoted a story of “love, loss, joy and freedom,” as they dipped, twirled and swayed high above the enchanted onlookers (and a few flummoxed passersby) on the plaza, with the Hoboken skyline as a backdrop.
Check out the full flickr set of their performance here.
