This aerial silk clown show poetically explores the crippling fear and exhilarating joy of flying into new chapters in life.

A ‘Living Pixar’ tale of courage, resiliency and friendship perfect for all ages.

CFF18: RE-GROOVING

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’18
Gabriel’s Corner
[Over-the-Rhine]

Film and live performance unite to explore the concept of breaking free from the confines of our own self-built identity. When the ideas and expectations we unconsciously construct about ourselves hinder us from evolving to new levels of being, we must shed the forms that we have outgrown like a snake shedding its skin. Re-Grooving highlights this struggle, and ascends with the dancer’s triumphant liberation.
