Ockham's Razor

Ockham's Razor return to artsdepot this autumn to perform their latest piece, Not Until We Are Lost, an immersive, promenade production that brings the audience into the heart of the aerial performance.

The audience are invited on to the stage to view the action in new, innovative ways from within a unique set of bespoke aerial structures, led from one viewing position to another by the performers and the narrative. At times surrounding the performers in a Perspex tower, or peering from below at the performers above – always being drawn into new and unknown perspectives.

Inspired by the Henry David Thoreau quote 'Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves', this interactive performance plays with proximity to create feelings of claustrophobia, interchanged with large sweeping images and theatrical illusions, all created through constantly evolving surroundings.

The performance features an original score by two-times British Composer Award-winner Graham Fitkin, performed by a 20-strong choir put together specially for the performance from the local community.

Suitable for ages 8+ years.
