The young Canadian company PeopleWatchingis rapidly taking the circus world by storm with their innovative approach to contemporary circus. In their stunning debut performance, Play Deadthe boundaries between reality and imagination blur in a cinematic mix of acrobatics, dance and physical theatre.

The six multidisciplinary artists excel in impressive physicality and visual narrative ability. In a setting of domestic objects, they conjure up a world full of dreamlike scenes – somewhat familiar, somewhat strange – and together they explore the beautiful, oppressive and delightfully absurd facets of human existence.

People Watching creates a contemporary circus that you experience like an exciting film where you are on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Play Deadis surreal, playful and full of unexpected twists:an overwhelming performance that will touch you and stay with you for a long time.
