Blink: Stories of Earth + Home (2018/19)
Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Tidal waves. These things can change a life in an instant. With global temperatures on the rise, we are facing melting icecaps, raging forest fires and storms more devastating than we’ve ever seen before. The earth, however, is more than natural disasters. The earth is endless forests, blue skies and breathtaking views. It’s the lake you escape to on hot weekends in summer, and a backyard full of fresh, fluffy snow.
The earth is our home.
Home. There are many ways to define this one word, but no matter who you are or what language you speak, we do share one thing in common: the earth is the chosen container for our home. And our home is in danger. Everything could change before we blink.
In an original creation brought to life through acrobatic storytelling, spoken word and music, Momentum Aerial & Acrobatic Troupe invites you to come back to your roots. Join us for seven stories of home, loss and hope for the future of the earth. Welcome home.
Ten Thousand Prayers (2016)
Healing hands hold hope
in their tender touch, hidden
by life’s crashing waves.
Refugees are often silenced, portrayed as faceless, helpless people without a home. But who are they really? Ten Thousand Prayers is a series of stories that seeks to break down our misconceptions – the barriers between the faces we see on the news, and those we experience in real life.
In an original creation told through acrobatic storytelling, spoken word and live music, Momentum Aerial & Acrobatic Troupe presents a spectacle that will leave you breathless. Be inspired by the courage of real people who dared leave behind all they’d ever known, to run towards hope against all odds.
RISE (2020)
Join us for this acrobatic show for an empowering, inspired celebration of the strength of our young artists as we rebuild our world.
In their signature acrobatic storytelling style, Momentum Aerial & Acrobatic Troupe presents an online performance experience, to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. The artists explore the circus disciplines of aerial hoop, trapeze, aerial silks, cyr wheel and more is a show that will lift your spirits and rekindle your sense of wonder.
2020 has had its challenges – as many and diverse as the people who live on this earth. We are waking up, and as we do so there is a letting go, a release of the old to step into all we can become.
RISE is a celebration of our strength and resilience to carry on through hard times, to grow, adapt and change. We celebrate the arts as they are needed now more than ever.
