a bridge by a cliff

-interdisciplinary performance

According to Isaac Newton’s theory, colours don’t exist; they are instead reflections of substances, vulnerable to our own perception. a bridge by a cliff takes us on a journey of reflection, on how the characters perceive their own reality when in a relationship. Involving movement, film projection and sound design, a bridge by a cliff is a perpetual dialogue between two people.
