PARIS — Celebration Barn Theater will present Avner Eisenberg in Exceptions to Gravity in a performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 22. A master of the art of physical comedy, Avner has appeared on Broadway and around the globe with the critically-acclaimed piece, described as “a spell of poetic simplicity in a show of hilarious predicaments.”
ABC-TV’s Joel Siegel said, “Avner the Eccentric is a brilliant comic … hurt-yourself hysterically funny. I laughed for two solid hours. The show only lasted an hour and a half.”
Avner is also known for his role as the endearing Holy Man, The Jewel, in the Michael Douglas film, “The Jewel of the Nile.” He performed as a ventriloquist on Broadway in “Ghetto,” and his dummy was nominated for a Tony Award. Avner’s show defies the barriers of language and culture and has toured extensively in the U.S. and abroad.
