The curtain falls. The theatre is plunged into darkness. Only a single light watches guard: the “Ghost Light.” The ghosts that inhabit the space are drawn toward the ghost light. As they recall the energy of a past life, they push each other around, push each other away, enjoy themselves, tear each other apart, only to fall into an embrace once again.
Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight makes visible what is invisible. The two beings lead us into a captivating performance that features a blend of stunning acrobatic feats, choreography, ghostly lights and upbeat music.
A reflection of the journey of a partnership, the teeterboard propels the acrobats toward each other in the euphoria of flight, the levity of weightlessness, and the fatality of the inevitable fall.
Let yourself be moved by this story that touches the spirit beyond mere mortal words.
