A Simple Space

Backed by the driving rhythm of a live percussionist, seven acrobats push their physical limits repeatedly without reserve.

Simultaneously raw, frantic and joyful, A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral.

Without makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast has deliberately focused on their exceptional skill, playful competitiveness, trust and friendship. The audience is brought in close to surround the performers. You can feel the sweat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every moment. This honesty is the essence behind A Simple Space.
