About the performance
Between lecture, film, circus, and music hall
In the 1950s, Suzanne and her husband amazed audiences worldwide with a breathtaking trapeze act. Ten meters high, without a safety net. Every movement had to be precise, confident, and exact. All or nothing, every time. Sixty years later, Anna meets the now 90-year-old Suzanne and uncovers her forgotten story. She reflects on the circus of the past: the freedom, the risks, the beauty, and the impermanence.
By bringing Suzanne’s act back to life, Anna searches for what endures over time. What remains of us, our risks, our gestures, our former beauty and perfection? Grace or time: which one prevails?
