troupe

There were costume changes, each get-up sparklier than the last, and there was a troupe of male and female dancers executing athletic choreography.

Announced opening acts for the tour include L.A.-based pop rock band Wallows, emo staples Death Cab for Cutie and Evanescence as well as modern troupes 100 gecs and IDLES.

A youth mariachi band and a baile folklorico troupe performed; a covers band played Chicano favorites such as War and Earth, Wind and Fire.

There is also the jolt of discovery, as when a theater troupe came to the 15-year-old Pacino’s favorite movie theater to perform Chekhov’s “The Seagull” and lighted a fire under him.

This tribute included a panel discussion, a performance by Polynesian dance troupe the Dancing Fire, and the culminating, staged virgin sacrifice into a smoke-bellowing volcano.
