This contemporary circus production celebrates the wonder of physical expression and takes the audience on a journey that looks beyond the familiar boundaries.
The work reflects on our times, which seem to have taken a step backwards, as if humanity were in a state of degeneration. Everyone is striving for the ultimate fulfilment: that moment when the struggle ends and everything is finally complete. To reach our goal, we trample over one another like animals, without a care for the consequences.
This multifaceted performance plays on the boundary between light and shadow, exploring the very limits of physicality. Acrobatics and dance merge into a single, breathing whole that is at once virtuosic and bare; the body, the space and light bring a whole world to life on stage.
The ‘Only Bones’ solo concept is a minimalist physical theatre project developed by Thom Monckton , based on set parameters which each artist is free to either break or follow as they wish. The original instructions are “just one light, no narration, no set, no props, no text, and everything in a confined space”. The artists are then left to use their own skills to create their own unique worlds within the concept.
