Shadow & Persona
Poppy Plowman Productions
Dance, Theatre
Shadow & Persona is an outdoor contemporary circus show that combines tight wire, high wire and live music to discuss the intersectionality of social identity.
It is an impactful and jaw dropping show between two artists who use the fundamental elements of their circus disciplines, risk and balance, to discuss the parts of themselves that are accepted by the world such as success and joy, versus their hidden and unwanted parts such as internal struggles and mental health issues.
‘Relatable and impactful on so many levels. Everyone needs to see this show!’
