After the Rain - by Compagnie XY

(further details tbc…)
Acrobats, spoken-word poetry, live musicians, ordinary people having extraordinary encounters, trust & surrender, weight & weightlessness, Compagnie XY and In Your Space Circus collide… just some of the raw materials from which these performances - results of a longer, collaborative & experimental process between the artists - will take breath.
Watch Abby’s vlog about her last (tiny but beautifully formed) encounter with Compagnie XY in the ‘Blog’ section of this website.
