“Suddenly: and other ways to change” is a visual exploration into the sensations of transformation. What does it feel like to let change wash over you? The performance utilizes magic, circus and theater to examine the idea of constantly shedding away old layers of yourself. At its core, the show deals with the grief that accompanies such transformative events.
This show tells a story about the performer’s life, while aiming to speak to some universal experience of the contradictions of personal growth. In a way it is something we all want, to be better versions of ourselves and yet it is a process we rarely have control over. The show investigates the themes of loss, pain and deep joy in the turmoil of the changing self. “Suddenly: and other ways to change” – a contemporary magic and circus performance about transformation; about what it feels like to change so deeply you replace yourself completely.
