A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation
A Simple Space Gravity and Other Myths
A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral. Instead of fine-tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast have deliberately gone the opposite way.
The audience is brought in close to surround the stripped back stage. In that space the acrobats are pushed to the physical limit, breaking down their usual guards and introducing the reality of failure and weakness.
With nothing left to hide behind personal narratives come through naturally. This honesty is the essence behind A Simple Space.
