Ockham's Razor

COLLABORATOR

The Place
Thu 29  >  Sat 31 Jan. London Premiere

Ockham’s Razor returns with an intimate duet crafted and performed by its two Artistic Directors, Alex Harvey and Charlotte Mooney.

For 20 years they have been making circus together, lifting, catching and carrying; stepping on and around each other. They have dropped each other and picked each other up.

Featuring two performers and a suspended frame: this is a show about creation and compromise. An irreverent, highly physical and heartfelt dive into navigating a relationship and the negotiation involved in making stuff. 

For anyone who has ever tried to make something with someone else: a decision, a work of art, a life.

Collaborator: noun. 

Similar: co-worker, associate, colleague, partner, confederate, ally, teammate, assistant, helper, quisling, fraterniser, colluder, conspirator.
