Dust (Work in Progress)

A work in progress performance for a brand new promenade circus show visually inspired by Erin Morgastern’s book The Night Circus.

As the gears of the show are spinning into place, a circus troupe throws opens their city of tents. A monochromatic scene awaits, one of lost horizons and tall, towering stories. Shadows waiting for you to enter and explore.

Step through a dark corridor to see row upon row of tents, quietly opening to reveal the multitude of performances this circus has to offer. Ancient statues come to life in the dusty twilight, characters are peeled out of the dusk to bend themselves into impossible shapes, only to fall away into nothingness once more.
