Limb(e)s is visceral aerial dance set in our “darkest hour”. It questions what it means to hold onto or let go of one another and explores our ephemeral bonds using two bodies, rope cradles, and suspension. 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.
