About the show<\/h3>\n

Each morning, three characters meet at the same location. Each of them in their own space, on their own. Their movements and positions appear to follow a specific hierarchy \u2026 until a path to freedom opens up in a breach. Extending a leg, holding out a hand and offering up a smile are all ways of inviting people to take a risk. Little by little, in this shared space, they explore new relationships, playing Icarian games as they build columns three-high.<\/p>\n

“Top Down” is a captivating performance by the circus trio La Triochka. The show explores themes of hierarchy, relationships, and the spaces we occupy in society. In “Top Down,” the performers use acrobatics and aerial arts to convey a story of three characters who meet in a common space. Each character has a specific place and role, representing a structured hierarchy. However, as the show progresses, a breach opens up new possibilities for freedom and exploration. The performers challenge conventional roles and expectations through subtle gestures and invitations, forging new relationships and defying societal norms. The interplay between personal space and communal dynamics is a central theme of the show, as it questions notions of dominance and submission.<\/p>\n

Top Down is the first piece performed by La Triochka, a trio of women whose bodies and movements both define the characters they play and narrate the story of their meeting. With simplicity and a certain intimacy, this piece speaks to us about the space we take for ourselves and the space we leave for others.<\/p>\n
