On a relentless quest for wonder, three veteran acrobats let their imaginations run wild to fulfill secret longings. Fluent in the language of circus, Acrobatic Conundrum’s principal performers melt the fourth wall to reveal their fatal flaws and journeys to redemption. In our homes we are out at sea, on our living room couch we find ourselves on an epic odyssey; so much rests upon the fate of a dozen lemons. Leveraging their long running friendships with each other, Emma Curtiss, Melissa Knowles, and Terry Crane put all their talents and quirky craftiness into this dada circus romp. They climb, cavort, invert, revert, and subvert in a capricious acrobatic tale for the ages. Featuring trapezes, ropes, Cyr wheel, equilibrism, handbalancing, + clown. Appropriate for ages 6+. This cathartic and personal show pivots on points in the performers lives which have left them with questions that they are still working to answer. Throughout the show, the audience is invited to participate in this process.
