Soft Spot is a meticulously composed contemporary circus duet for a juggler, a handstand artist, wooden planks and 300 wine glasses.
Everyone has held a wine glass. Everyone has broken one. Since childhood, we have formed an instinctive relationship with this fragile everyday object. On stage, two artists carefully manipulate, stack and balance a delicate landscape of glass, testing its physical limits under the audience’s gaze. The glass becomes partner, obstacle and shared risk – demanding precision, timing and trust between the performers. Each action carries tension; each near – collapse invites possibility. Through humour, concentration and mutual reliance, Soft Spot offers a playful yet exacting exploration of fragility – in objects, in bodies and in relationships.
