Machine de Cirque

A ghost light, the single bulb that stays illuminated when a theater is unoccupied, carries the weight of practicality, tradition, and superstition. Machine de Cirque’s Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight makes visible what is invisible. In their telling of the story, the theater ghosts are drawn to the light. As the spirits recall the energy of a past life, they push each other around, push each other away, enjoy themselves, tear each other apart, only to fall into an embrace once again. Two spectacular acrobats on a teeterboard create a captivating performance of breathtaking feats and poignant choreography.
