Cancelled
'By Trial and Error' has been cancelled.
The stage is set: a simple black curtain stands centre stage.
Then two hidden circus artists appear and the show begins... But as the two disoriented acrobats move to perform their first lift, a terrible doubt arises in their seemingly well-oiled routine. Is this the right move? Is this what we rehearsed?
Driven by the need to continue at any cost, the duo invents new moves and jostles. Full of humour borrowed from silent cinema and impressive circus skills, By Trial and Error is a delightful exploration of the power of perserverance.
