“What would happen if the laws of gravity were to suddenly change?” This is the question Leo (show creator and star Tobias Wegner) asks his audience—and no wild imagination could anticipate the way in which he answers. Come see what Time Out New York calls “An eye-teasing, grin-inducing, deeply impressive work of sustained absurdist magic,” tonight at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. In one small room, he skips, jumps, and plays across walls—but in an onstage projected image, all rules of physics and the very foundations of nature seem to hold no power. That's the trick—and in this show, the magician considers revealing his secrets part of the entertainment.
