Limb(e)s is visceral aerial dance set in the limbo beyond loss. Using two bodies and an invented apparatus of rope cradles, it explores our ephemeral bonds and what it means to hold onto or let go of one another in our “darkest hour”. Drawing from their experience in circus and dance, Jeremiah Hughes and Gabrielle Martin perform an emotionally raw physicality to the haunting original soundscape of Canadian composer Nicolas Bernier. The result is a hypnotic, destabilizing narrative full of mourning, distant hope, and eerie beauty.
