The Planets is a lightly immersive music, dance, and theater event in which audience members and performers are all equally present and interwoven throughout the playing space. The Knights and Dance Heginbotham guide the audience through our local celestial environment. Focusing on each planet, Gustav Holst’s masterpiece propels us from the fiery worlds at the core of our solar system to the icy bodies slowly orbiting in the far distance. The culmination of this tour brings our eyes and ears to rest on the one planet Holst excluded from his composition: the pale blue dot. Prelude interview with Eric Jacobsen and John Heginbotham hosted by Leah Rosenthal. Date | Saturday, August 20 at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, August 21 at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Location | The JAI at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here! General admission is $78.
