ICE CUBES: More details on PIFA 2013

POSTED: Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 2:00 PM

Filed Under: Ice Cubes

Several weeks ago, Icepack dropped a clue that the next Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA) at the Kimmel Center and its immediate outlets would highlight back-and-forth time travel for its 2013 edition rather than the single locality of its last affair, the successful Francophile-inspired PIFA of 2011.

Icepack was correct and executive director Ed Cambron has already lined up the Kimmel’s resident companies and their friends to take over Kimmel’s lobbies and stages with events that take on defining moments in human history, such as Mandela’s release from prison, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Look for the Wilma’s Bearded Ladies to do something draggy to the Civil War. Poor Abe Lincoln. Will his ghost never rest?

More of this will be announced tonight with a one-minute sizzle reel to be shown at the Arts & Business Council Awards Ceremony at Vie.
