Free Fallings: A Contemporary Circus Double Bill

Free Falling is a unique double feature that explores the depth of loss and hope through the powerful mediums of circus and storytelling.

In the Fire (Welland, ON) and Fish at the Bottom of the Sea (Calgary, AB) examine relationships, grief and healing, while employing  the use of unique circus apparatuses specifically designed to support their stories.

Special  post-show talk back hosted by the Being Human Club, a feminist and trauma-informed multidisciplinary organization based in Calgary.
