Insomnia,
an aerial solo about the passing of time. About how subjective time can be; no matter how much we would like to, we can't hold onto it and the only way to make it last is to savour the moment. It’s a circus show meant to allow the audience to reflect by themselves, and to lend perspective to their own perception of time. Nowadays it’s easy to get caught up in the notion that we should all be doing more with our time, while stress and the feeling of running out of time is more present than ever. Creating a circus show about this isn’t about telling the audience to make other choices with their time, but about giving a space to stop and look at time differently, however briefly Black box venues
