Gauthier Dance
Returning to Jacob’s Pillow by popular demand, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart will bring its extraordinary blend of precision, power, and play to the Ted Shawn Theatre stage. Led by artistic director Eric Gauthier, the company of 16 dynamic dancers has earned international acclaim for its bold repertoire and magnetic performances.
The company’s 2026 program will include The FireWorks Project, a program showcasing six works by leading choreographers—including Benjamin Millepied, Barak Marshall, Johan Inger, and Sofia Nappi—performed against a striking red marley floor. In the second half of the program, audiences will experience a new piece by Sharon Eyal—whose distinctive movement language has captivated Pillow audiences in past seasons—alongside Greek choreographer Andonis Foniadakis with a breathtaking work performed on trampolines. Together, these works form a joyful, high-octane tour de force that captures the company’s trademark wit, musicality, and fearless physicality.
