DIAVOLO: ESCAPE

Los Angeles’ own DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion swings back into The Soraya in Northridge with two performances of ESCAPE on November 21 and 22, 2026. Founded by Jacques Heim in 1992, the company is famous for dancers who leap, climb, slide and tumble across giant moving sculptures, turning every show into a mix of modern dance, gymnastics and pure athletic daring. This visit marks the troupe’s fifth engagement at The Soraya.

In ESCAPE, a group of people tries to break free from the chaos closing in around them, and their journey carries them into a dreamlike new world full of possibilities. Along the way, the performers take on several of DIAVOLO’s best-known architectural structures, including pieces that audiences may remember from Existencia, the work The Soraya commissioned from the company in 2024.

Kids who love parkour, gymnastics, climbing walls or anything that looks just a little bit dangerous will be wide-eyed from start to finish. The Sunday 3 p.m. matinee is the easy pick for younger fans, while the Saturday evening show makes a great night out at the theater for tweens and teens.
