Radiolab Live: In the Dark

with Pilobolus

at The Chicago Theatre

About the Show

Join Radiolab's Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich as they take the stage to explore what it's like to be In the Dark, modern dancer-athletes Pilobolus, and musician Thao Nguyen, who will score the show live. In the Dark will be a night of gripping stories, wonder-inducing demonstrations, and jaw-dropping images. We'll hear an astronaut's harrowing experience during a space-walk, take a peek inside two very different realities described by two blind men, and imagine, step-by-step, how something as utterly complex as the eye could have evolved.

Radiolab, produced by WNYC in New York, sounds like nothing else on the radio. An immersive, perspective-shaking experience, Radiolab is an expedition of the mind-where vivid storytelling, cutting-edge sound design, and a genre-bending spirit of inquiry pull listeners into a world of curiosity and discovery.

Radiolab's signature sound derives from an electric chemistry between hosts Jad Abumrad, an award-winning radio producer, and Robert Krulwich, a highly-acclaimed science reporter. Together, they bring a sense of surprise, humor, and hands-on eagerness to complex topics, and explore big ideas with an infectious enthusiasm for the mysteries of science, and the magic of real-life experiences.
