Italian Artists Bring 'Theater of Feet' to Beverly Arts Center

CHICAGO, IL -- Italy’s Teatro dei Piedi -- “Theatre of Feet” -- is bringing its family-friendly entertainment to the Beverly Arts Center this weekend, Jan. 20 through Jan. 22.

Part mime and part contortion, Teatro dei Piedi stages characters whose stories are by turn romantic, ironic, poetic and ridiculous with their feet. The artists, Laura Kibel and Veronica Gonzalez, put their hands, feet and knees together to create extraordinarily articulate characters.

Performances are 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20; 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21; and 11 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 22. Theatre of Feet is part of the 2017 Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival featuring puppet artists from around the globe at various Chicago venues, including BAC.

Tickets are $20 for adults; $12 for students and can be purchased online at BAC. Beverly Arts Center is located at 3737 W. 111th St., Chicago.
