“It’s an experience that can only be relayed in impressions, as a literal description of it would be an unforgivable act of reductionism. Brave Space is a wonderful piece. It is daring, beautiful, whimsical, profound, simplistic, complicated, safe, scary, beautiful thing, and I very much hope it sticks around. Be Brave, go see it, and support these supremely talented artists. Their skill and commitment are an example to us all. Be inspired.” --PGH in the RoundAloft Circus Arts', "Brave Space", is the building of a blanket fort, sneaking under a hoopskirt, an impulsive congregation in the tiniest of tents. Intimate and low tech, this hour-long work of contemporary circus invites the audience to sit nose-to-nose with bold aerialists and acrobats to build the world we want to live in, even for only a few shared moments. An antidote to the horrors of daily news cycle, and a reminder that caring for others is empowering, this show pops up wherever people need beauty, hope, and comfort.
Inspired by the idea of creating community in trying times, Brave Space starts as a puddle of fabric on the floor, and grows to encompass a world of wonders that includes juggling, cyr wheel, and duo trapeze, a rope act like no other, and awe-inspiring feats of balance and strength. The audience is limited to 100 people per show, and audience members must be able to sit on the floor, stand up, walk around for the duration of the performance. Audience members requesting assistance, or a chair to sit in, should email us at [email protected] before the show. Brave Space may make persons suffering from claustrophobia feel uncomfortable at times.
Maintaining 6 ft of social distancing will not be possible during this show. Proof of vaccination will be required for entry. FFP2 or K95 masks are required throughout the performance.
All tickets are the same, but if you can afford to pay a bit more, we will be forever and eternally grateful. Touring in a pandemic is difficult and requires additional expenses. We want to keep our prices affordable and if you can support that, you are really our hero.
