s.o.l.o depicts a life. (Situations of Ones Life’s Obsessions)

The moments that we all collectively share.

The emotions that we have all felt, instances that have changed our path and opportunities, won or lost, that have created the person we are today.

But every decision, every failure, every accomplishment in every minute,

even if surrounded by an abundance of people, were experienced; solo.

s.o.l.o is a multidisciplinary circus show that incorporates multimedia, circus technique and theatre to create an experience for the audience; a moment that we all share together.

“Our life is filled with different situations that we have fanatically obsessed over;

s.o.l.o is my tale of my obsessions that I hope the audience can relate to, within their own life experiences. “ (Simon-James)

It toys with identity, struggles, loss, endurance, and most of all hope.

Hope to make better choices, hope to do better, to achieve more; hope to be a better self. All parts of life that we all experience; solo.

Circus gives way to theatre, theatre to circus as they are enhanced by the multimedia.

The technique is amazing, but the story is not compromised; the audience leaves the performance experiencing special acts, feeling a roller-coaster of emotions and (possibly) learning something within themselves.

 s.o.l.o is an experience.
