Inbal Pinto’s peripatetic ‘Oyster,’ opening here at last - Arts

“Oyster,’’ from the Tel Aviv-based Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak Dance Company, was conceived in 1999; it was presented at Jacob’s Pillow in 2001, and at the Joyce Theater in New York in 2003. The piece has delighted audiences from Dublin to Shanghai. Now, finally, the Celebrity Series is bringing it to Boston. Why did “Oyster’’ take so long to arrive in Boston? “It’s a mystery,’’ Pollak says.
