The Sky is Falling
Nov
5
to Nov 13

The Sky is Falling

‘The Sky is Falling’ is the culminating performance of a year of community and relationship building among Voice Project artists, including alumni of the program. This ensemble-devised circus show focuses on themes of climate justice.

For many people, there is a deep visceral fear as temperatures rise, fires burn, and our political leaders continue to take minimal steps towards the actions that are urgently needed. As Voice Project artists shared these fears and anxieties they also wrestled with the idea of hope, both questioning the concept and finding nuggets of self-defined hope through the idea of coalition building and calls to action, adding to the message to humanity to take action now. We invite you to join us in experiencing the range of human emotions in response to climate change as we extend our call to action so that we can build towards hope together.


”Hope locates itself in the premises that we dont know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. When you recognize uncertainty, you recognize that you may be able to influence the outcomes you alone or you in concert with a few dozen or several million others.”

- Rebecca Solnit

There are two in-person showing at The Circus Project:
Friday, November 5th at 7pm
Saturday, November 6th at 7pm
Proof of vaccination or negative Covid test is required, and capacity is very limited.

You can also purchase a ticket to the online live-streaming viewing on:

Gravity Defiant

Gravity Defiant is a full-length circus show which explores identity and the invisible forces that shape everyday life.  Gravity Defiant takes the viewer on a thought-provoking journey, challenging the innumerable forces which define our diverse existence. As we move through this world, how often are we aware of the invisible forces that hold us down? The forms of oppression that shape our realities? Others' realities? Emotions unpacked, lessons learned, bonds forged, reinforced by the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, has a life as complex as one’s own. Gravity Defiant seeks to unpack these questions and more.

Created and Performed by the Voice Projects pilot year students: Chase, Fyre, Jasmine, Katie, Tina, and V. Gravity Defiant is a show not to be missed!
