OLO Company and Cluster ArtsProfessional company

60 minutesMain House
Soft Spot is a circus duet for a juggler, a handstand artist, wooden planks and 300 wine glasses. Everyone has held a wine glass. Everyone has broken one. From childhood curiosity to adult caution, we share a relationship with this fragile everyday object. On stage, two artists carefully manipulate, stack and balance a delicate landscape, risking collapse at any moment. The glass becomes partner, obstacle and quiet threat – demanding precision and trust between performers. Each action carries tension; each near-collapse asks what might happen next. Unexpected outcomes reveal a playful, precise exploration of our fragile world.
