Lab Rats

Marc Oosterhoff & Owen Winship

In a confined space, two acrobats embark on a mischievous pas de deux to ward off loneliness..



.

Under the amused gaze of the audience, two beings come face to face inside a glass box. Like laboratory mice, they sniff each other out, noses resting on each other’s backs, ignoring, spying, and nudging one another. With a poetic blend of tender struggles and clumsy waltzes, they will advance like tightrope walkers on the unstable ladder of feelings and emotions...

Trained in dance, martial arts, circus, and parkour, our odd little rodents express the silent dialogue of encountering the other, painting a portrait both funny and moving of the fragility of human relationships.
