RUN TIME

6 Minutes

The dancer in David Parsons’ signature solo defies gravity as he flies through the air in a breathtaking fusion of art and technology that demands split-second timing and athletic stamina. Flashing lights catch the dancer in more than 100 leaps, capturing him in perpetual motion, making it seem as if he never touches the ground. The effect is a stunning suspension of weight in which the dancer appears to float, devouring space before magically returning to rest at center stage.
