In Common

Information

In Common is a work of scale that offers versatile presentation possibilities including indoor theatre stages and outdoor performances in public places. The 60-minute piece combines circus and sculpture as six acrobats build a unique rigging apparatus on stage and perform breathtaking acrobatics on and around it, guiding audiences through a visceral understanding of the care we owe others in our community and the safety nets we collectively weave. As a non-verbal circus work In Common is perfect for diverse audiences with direct appeal to audiences of all ages due to the company’s signature style of acrobatics – heartfelt, powerful, and intimate. As an outdoor public event it attracts a broad audience especially families with children, and audiences who might not usually engage with indoor venues. In Common is a unique and visually arresting offering to theatres and festivals.
