Bella Kinetica

Does friendship endure more than love? Will it ground you? Can it help you escape your reality?

On roller-skates and in the air, two women revisit the interweaving stories of their past lives and loves - from the post-war optimism of the late 1940s to the domestic realities of the 1950s and beyond.

Bella Kinetica’s new circus theatre show has physical feats that will take your breath away as they skate, spin and fly across the stage.

Fabulous music from the 1940s and 1950s is woven throughout the piece and will get you tapping your feet; recorded memories of real women’s experiences bring history to life before your eyes.

The show is performed entirely on roller-skates, giving the characters an opportunity to physically represent the metaphors of their lives - spinning circles round each other, rolling in and out of each other’s lives and sometimes lifting into the air.
