Lifeline/Dead Point - T0505873129There is a phrase, 'standing on common ground': the ground is something we share, or try to. The air is altogether a lonelier place to be... Actress and aerialist Matilda Leyser climbs into the air to explore the solitude which we, paradoxically, all share. In Lifeline a single rope hangs in space: a life unfolds along it travelling from birth through childhood to maturity. Dead Point is a story of suspension and weightlessness in search of the point. | |
