Circle of Eleven Directed by Daniel Brière Original Idea / Performed by Tobias Wegner
What would happen if the laws of gravity were to suddenly change? Leo, the award-winning new show from the acclaimed German company Circle of Eleven, attempts to answer this question as the hero (played brilliantly by Tobias Wegner) explores a world where gravity has woozily shifted and undertakes a logic-defying adventure that not only reveals his dreams and desires but his lust for life. Through a clever juxtaposition of live performance with projected film, two Leos move through identical spaces governed by opposing physical laws. Wegner exploits every potential for invention and comedy as Leo tests the limits of his strange environment, moving from humble tricks with hats to breakdancing up walls. Leo is a funny, surreal, and surprisingly touching work that challenges the senses and tests perceptions of reality.
