Fringe Arts: Company To X For – Surface Tension

Surface Tension takes a beautiful and daring look at a queer friendship. At points ecstatic, dark, searching, and joyful, this intimate circus show celebrates vulnerable connection through sincere juggling.

Utilizing acrobatics, weight-sharing, object manipulation, and dance, Surface Tension addresses the fear of loss, the power of trust, and the joy of vulnerability.

Surface Tension is the debut production from Company To X For, a grassroots contemporary circus company based in Chicago. Founded by Liam Bradley and David Chervony.
