Skywhispers of Terrestrial Dreams is back for Stages Festival!
Skywhispers is back for Eastern Front Theatre’s Stages Festival 2022! Skywhispers of Terrestrial Dreams is a wandering journey through a continuous and endlessly shifting dreamscape of contemporary circus arts that explores the liminal and ephemeral nature of our earthly dreams. Somewhere between waking and slumber exists a place where we may pursue our quest for liberation, reach the heights of our potential, indulge our appetite for the absurd and question our own sensibilities. In this performance installation, skywhispers from the astral realm reach out to issue warning, impart wisdom, carry healing, and offer insight into our past, present and future. If one actively listens, they may find meaning that is intended only for them. Can we embrace this transitional reality where provocation invites curiosity and the mundane is nuanced? Off the beaten path, time has no purchase and recovered details swiftly lose their edges. The dream of today is not the dream of tomorrow or the next day or the day after that. All is mutable. The diverse group of artists presenting this work are members of Breaking Circus Collective, the only Black-led professional contemporary circus troupe east of Montreal. Audio description/ whispers are an integral part of this performance installation. Breaking Circus Collective artists: Dawn Shepherd, Ryan Gray, Aiyana Graham, Jayden Gigliotti, Ross Burns, Kura Broadnax, Adrian Bah, Nastassia Burynskaya.

That Which Lights Your Way: Refraction May 13-16, 2022
CLICK THIS POST FOR TICKETS!
Breaking Circus returns with part II of Ryan Gray’s That Which Lights Your Way series of works, Refraction. After the two-sided interpretations of part I, Reflection, Refraction explores the physics of waves moving through a medium, creating a microcosm of contemporary circus and interactive light. We change and evolve as we move through our lives, like rays of sun through the fog, finding divergent paths to travel, like rainbows from light through a prism.
