s.o.l.o depicts a life in a multi-disciplinary show; circus, multimedia, theatre and spoken word
Synopsis
s.o.l.o depicts a life.
The moments that we all collectively share. The emotions that we have all felt, instances that have changed our path and opportunities won or lost that have created the person we are today. But every decision, every failure, every accomplishment in every minute, even if surrounded by an abundance of people, were experienced; solo.
s.o.l.o is a multidisciplinary circus show that incorporates multimedia, circus technique, theatre and spoken word to create an experience for the audience.
It toys with identity, struggles, loss, endurance and most of all hope. Hope to make better choices, hope to do better, to achieve more; hope to be a better self. Circus gives way to theatre, theatre to circus as they are enhanced by the multimedia. The technique is world class but the story is not compromised; the audience leaves the performance experiencing world class acts, feeling a roller-coaster of emotions and (possibly) learning something within themselves.
