Description:
This new sonata by Chloé Charody, composed for the unique acrobatic skillset of violinist Sonja Schebeck, and performed in a groundbreaking interdisciplinary duet with acrobat Josh Frazer, tells a poignant narrative through dynamic partner acrobatics, duo-unicycle and cyr-wheel. Limbo is set at Melbourne Park Hotel, 2021, when refugees were being detained indefinitely by the Australian government, some having been incarcerated for nine years. Embracing circus and classical music in one captivating world, Limbo rollercoasts through anger, frustration, fantasy and escape, exploding with one of the greatest weapons against oppression – hope.
