Man of Paper
CIRCUS, DANCE & PHYSICAL THEATRE
Did they know how much you loved them? When did you last say it?
For most of their life, the man they called father, was a man they wanted nothing to do with. He spoke to fill the silence, telling stories that had been heard countless times before. Stories they never listened to… Stories they would give anything to hear again.
Take control and roll the dice to see snippets from a father’s life through the interconnection between the written word and movement. How much can we truly know a person from faded letters, notes in margins and old photographs?
Tender and bittersweet – What you learn about the Man of Paper, is a matter of chance and fate. Sometimes you don’t know a person, until they have already gone…
