In the newest show by Bornfire Circus, our connection with the trash produced by fast-paced consumerism is reimagined. The performers defy gravity and convention as they work with their bodies and the items around them to create a symphony of movement and colour against a background of commercial culture and trashed materials. The performers display the limitless potential of the human body via daring acrobatics and exquisite balancing routines, highlighting the hidden beauty and worth of the things that are all too often disregarded and abandoned.
The plastic sheet, carton boxes, tables, and truss dolly used in the show are carefully sourced through borrowing, donations, or rescue initiatives. After their use, these items are responsibly managed by either sending them for recycling or retaining them for future purposes.
