It wouldn't be a sultry summer in the city without Pilobolus emoting some high heat from the Joyce stage. The much-anticipated new season from the dance-cum-acrobatics company pairs older, rarely performed works with a few promising premieres, showing that the group's spirit hasn't been diluted by wild commercial success. The season's offerings are so numerous that they're dished out in three distinct programs, each headlined by a new piece: Lanterna Magica is a fantastical celebration of the supernatural; Razor: Mirror provides a bevy of responses to the question, "What is safe?"; and Borderless Innovation includes a cheeky collaboration with ubiquitous puppeteer Basil Twist.
