CCIAC went digital!
From the Contemporary Circus and Immersive Arts Center comes a poignant, funny, one-of-a-kind solo circus performance. A.Lone invites the public to find humor in our lockdown lifestyle, from the comfort of their own home. ABOUT THE SHOW Co-directed by Aaron Marquise and Marie-Josée Gauthier (Cirque du Soleil, Circus Monti) A.Lone brings you into the world of A, a lonely clown quarantined on an old theater’s stage. Outside, a war rages on. To overcome fright and loneliness, A invents a family life full of fun and mischief while reliving magnificent days in the limelight. With imagination as his weapon and fantasy as his banner, A finds the courage to believe in a brighter tomorrow. In this premiere, A seems to step off the screen and into each viewer’s home, thanks to brilliant cinematography by TM Williams Photography. Staged exclusively for this production and captured live.
Available for on-demand streaming from January 22, 2021 to February 21, 2021.
