POWER

A circus Strong Lady celebrates the ways we can feel powerful, even in an uncertain world. POWER is optimistic, uplifting, funny, physical and moving.

Trying to learn how to overcome uncertainty, Australian circus strong-lady Charmaine Childs asked people of all walks of life the same question: Can you tell me about a time when you felt really powerful? The result is Power, combining her own story with the extraordinary experiences of ‘ordinary’ people.

Unfolding through a mix of verbal storytelling, voice-over soundtrack and impressive physical strength and artistry, this is an exciting piece of new circus-theatre that amplifies the power we have to choose the next step through the mess.

Stories that are touching, tragic and true – told through circus skill + humour. (Complicite)
