The Tiny Circus at the edge of the World
In a beautiful and surreal circus universe, audiences of all ages are invited on a journey. A magical performance about friendship and freedom – beyond the boundaries of gravity!
Somewhere, way out on the edge of the world, exists a floating rock. A parallel universe, a whimsical planet where time is suspended. Here resides a troglodyte (half-human/half-stone), whose quiet life is disrupted by the arrival of a curious explorer. The explorer carries with her a suitcase filled with circus and magic. The troglodyte’s world is shaken and thrown out of balance, but perhaps together they can create a new equilibrium in this little universe?
