Atlas

Oddly Moving’s new show directed by Charlotte Mooney of Ockham’s Razor

Oddly Moving’s new show is inspired by the novel Weight by Jeanette Winterson and explores the Greek myth of Atlas, who was punished by the Gods to hold the weight of the world on his shoulders for all eternity – with personal stories about the metaphorical weight we each bear, or let go of, and the individual worlds that define us.

Directed by Charlotte Mooney of Ockham’s Razor and with Oddly Moving’s unique blend of physical theatre, autobiographical story-telling and circus skills (with a rudimentary understanding of astro-physics) Atlas looks at how we each bear the weight of our personal burdens, our what-ifs, joys, regrets and turning points and asks what happens if we let go?
