How do we treat the earth? How do we treat one another? Is it fear driving us, making the unknown seem dangerous? Or do we approach one another with curiosity? In the performance Earth, the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether—will reveal what the objective is.
High up on their stilts and dressed in spectacular costumes, they invite the audience to join the movement. And before you know it, there’s laughter and dancing together in a big circle of… recognition? Friendship? Love? Joy? Come and join us as STILTLIFE, in their enchanting, topical and uplifting street performance, explore the need to keep connecting with ‘the other’.
STILTLIFE’s performance Earth is a visual narrative that places the audience’s experience at the centre. With the audience, Earth’s performers explore new connections with one another and with the public space they inhabit.
