Climb aboard with All or Nothing and Strange Bird Zirkus as they navigate through three short stories of new wave circus - 1,2,3 here we go, Youkali, and, Spokes. It's an aerial adventure performed by Scotland's leading aerial and circus artists through the ebb and flow of worlds on the edge of reality - a moment of decision, a nautical journey, a relationship - a rope, aerial fabrics and Chinese pole. Using spectacular tricks and beautiful imagery we invite you into a into a magical realist world where people walk in the air.
A nautical theme runs through the first two of this trio of stories narrated through contemporary circus and aerial dance. It starts with the sea shanties hollered out by Dave Boyd, looming tall over the aerialists as they lay out their Chinese pole and hoist it up centre stage.
