Break

by The Farm and Cecilia Martin

What is it to break? What is it to fall apart? Why do we push ourselves to these limits?

Break is an autobiographical work that sits between dance, theatre and circus, an active investigation in how we define ourselves and how we recover when our dreams are shattered.

Cecilia travelled the world for many years as part of Circa’s ensemble but when she developed a complex wrist injury, the career she had carefully created fell to pieces. After spending a year and a half recovering, she tried to return from that injury but another fall broke her other wrist. These two events have led her to question her ambition and the impact it has had on her body and her future.
