Ockham’s Razor return with an intimate duet crafted and performed by Artistic Directors Alex and Charlotte. For 22 years they have been making circus together: lifting, catching and carrying; stepping on and around each other. They have been dropped and have picked each other up. 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. Described as 'warm, insightful and joyful' by the Guardian, it celebrates creation, compromise and enduring partnership.
