A free outdoor event for the whole family to enjoy as part of Worthing Festival.
‘Why?’ is both a tender and exhilarating aerial duet exploring themes of life, loss, surrender and acceptance in a soft and moving way.
The piece offers a visceral experience for its audiences that not only legitimises the emotional one but creates space for the viewer to bring their own understanding to it, triggering a resonance, not dictating their experience.
Performed in two parts, ‘Why?’ uses climbing harnesses and abseil lines to dance on a bespoke free-standing wall – ‘vertical dance’.
In light of the recent pandemic and a collective grieving, ‘Why?’ feels more relevant than ever. How do we each pass through these experiences and how do these experiences pass through, affect and change us?
