WOW festival gets off to a soggy but touching, amusing and entertaining start

By its very name, the WOW Festival was designed to inspire wonder. The 7th year of La Jolla Playhouse's free, immersive Without Walls Festival got off to an imaginative, if slightly soggy, start on Thursday afternoon. It continues through Sunday. This year's WOW fest features 25 shows by theater and dance companies from the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands and Taiwan. For the third time, WOW is being presented on the campus of UC San Diego in La Jolla.

'Duo' Taiwan’s 0471 Acro Physical Theatre presents this sad and mostly wordless two-character dance-infused story about a man and woman whose twisty-turny acrobatics represent the ups and downs of their rocky and passionate romantic relationship. The movement ranges from thrilling to heartbreaking and is supported by haunting atmospheric music. 45 minutes. Revelle Plaza. Remaining performances: 6:20 p.m. April 5; 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. April 6; 12:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. April 7.
