Google Ockham's Razor produced by Turtle Key ArtsAbout the show
Ockham's Razor — produced by Turtle Key Arts — return with an intimate duet crafted and performed by Artistic Directors Alex and Charlotte. For twenty-two years they have been making circus together: lifting, catching and carrying, stepping on and around each other. Featuring two performers, a suspended frame and a stage, Collaborator is an irreverent, highly physical and heartfelt dive into the negotiation involved in making something — a decision, a work of art, a life. The Guardian described it as warm, insightful and joyful.
Why see this show?
Twenty-two years of partnership made physical and visible on stage — a circus show that is really about how two people make things together. Accessible from age 8 upwards, and genuinely moving alongside the impressive physical skill.
