Ákri

At the foot of the ladder, everything remains to be done. The goal is to reach the top, and in between, absurdity come to life

"Ákri" is a circus solo by an acrobat and a ladder that explores the concept of "threshold." The ladder, which serves as both a circus apparatus and a piece of set design, represents a transitional space between two areas while also symbolizing a trade and a way of life. How do we experience the time that passes between two moments? How do we inhabit these non-places that, like a ladder, are not meant to be inhabited?
