Virtuosic Swiss duo Martin Zimmermann and Dimitri de Perrot, whose work has been likened to Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati, and Tex Avery, bring their acclaimed Gaff Aff to BAC for its U.S. Premiere.  With a whimsical set that incorporates a giant turntable, the choreographer and the DJ/composer combine circus acrobatics, dance, and mime to explore the fragile, contradictory nature of being human.
