It is a fine line between genius and insanity.

There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. Last night, commuters at the Lindbergh Center MARTA station were confused as to which they were witnessing when, for about an hour, the station became a stage for the dance group gloATL. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, dancers suddenly started performing in the plaza outside the station. Their performance then moved inside the MARTA station, where they surprised and delighted evening commuters. The odd juxtapositions that revealed themselves were as entertaining to watch as the dancers themselves. Some passers-by reacted with shock, disbelief and joy, while others ignored the dancers and walked quickly past. People’s reactions to the dancers became part of the show itself. The piece ended with the group running down the street into the night.

The Lindbergh Center MARTA station will never be the same.
