Bach and Red Bull, it sounds like something that happens after 2:00am at a club on Rush Street. Actually Bull Flying Bach lands in Chicago, making its U.S. debut in an exclusive Chicago engagement after three seasons of sold-out performances around the world.
Red Bull Flying Bach, featuring Berlin-based dance crew The Flying Steps, four-time break dance world champions, Red Bull Flying Bach combines contemporary hip-hop power moves with live classical music.
Red Bull Flying Bach runs for six performances only at the historic Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive, June 20 – 29 and there’s still tickets available.
I am a tall drink of water, normally I do anything to avoid the Civic Opera house, because I don’t fit in the seats, but for this, I will make an exception!
Red Bull Flying Bach has sold out theaters in Austria, Australia, Canada, Chile, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Russia and Sweden and now hits Chicago stages, starting this weekend.
The show itself, 70 minutes in length, features the seven break dancers of The Flying Steps along with contemporary Swedish dancer Anna Holmström, who is yummy, bendy and talented! Just sayin’.
Tickets, ranging from $24 to $88, are now on sale at Ticketmaster.com or by visiting the Civic Opera House box office. Red Bull Flying Bach is performed over two weekends only: Friday and Saturday evenings, June 20, 21, 27 & 28, at 7:30pm, and Sunday afternoons, June 22 & 29, at 2pm.
We don’t have any to give away, but if you find me Friday at the show, I will buy you a drink. One drink you all share! This is gold!
I have come to the conclusion that pretty much anything Red Bull is pretty darn awesome: from jumping off a platform in space, to mixing Bach and Break Dancing, it’s normally the “thing” everyone is talking about and “sharing” the next day.
