Sydney Fringe Festival 2016: AEON

Answered by: Andrew Cohen

Describe your show in a tweet? AEON is an original circus work exploring our relationship with time. We investigate the intersection between the ground and the air with raw, physical movement.

Why did you decide to do Fringe this year? Sydney Fringe Festival is an excellent platform for showing new work. Since Aerialize has been in development of a brand new circus show this year, it seemed a perfect opportunity to perform the work in front of a live audience.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? Renowned physical theatre performer Rick Everett directs AEON. Rick's career began at age 15, touring Australia with Circus Monoxide. Since then Rick has worked with Australia's top performing companies, such as Stalker Theatre, Legs On The Wall and Opera Australia.

What will make you stand out in the Fringe crowd? AEON incorporates acrobatics, aerials, dance, prop manipulation and character work. Audiences will see aerial apparatus used differently; they'll see apparatus rarely used in contemporary circus; they will see concepts explored through utterly honest physical expression.

When and where is your Fringe show? 21 - 24 Sep, Seymour Centre.
