How a Spiral Works // Art for Rainy Days (LT/LV/UK)

One dancer, one aerialist, and one rope tethered together in R-evolving relationship. In this performance, the artists fight for time to care for themselves, care for each other – even under extreme circumstances.

How hard is it to care under tension? In the middle of a whirlwind? At great heights? While feeling pain?

Renowned British circus director Jason Dupree, acclaimed Latvian choreographer Alise Bokaldere, and the phenomenal Lithuanian aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte join forces, creating a unique, hypnotic, and powerful contemporary circus performance, blending contemporary dance, hair hanging, aerial rope, and reinvented Baltic folk music.

A close up photo of a performer, her hair in a plait is being lifted behind her by a line.

A photo of two performers. One is wrapped in an aerial rope suspended just above the stage, the other is holding the rope, seeminly pulling it towards her.
