Gravity still holds us together
The Big Slip can happen at any time. Financial, environmental, nuclear, cosmic … We are on constant alert. Busy with balance. Personal, local, national, global. But gravity still holds us together. The show treats the fall as a physical and metaphysical experience, as comedy and tragedy at the same time, as the unstoppable stumbling of humanity. In a series of theatrical situations and stage images, bodies, objects, ideas, symbols, beliefs, ideals, expectations, fears and hopes fall. Everything is falling. Theatre too. But this is not a story of the last great fall, it is a story of falling beyond human pride, beyond normative subtraction, beyond beginning and end, beyond religion, politics, ideology…
