Backbone
Backbone

A high-octane spree of physical virtuosity, Backbone tests the limits of strength: physical, emotional, individual and collective. Staged with a deceptively DIY aesthetic and dispensing of trickery and distraction, this is circus that goes straight for the jugular and leaves no viewer unmoved.

Sexy, sincere, raw yet disciplined, Backbone is proof you can’t do the impossible without spending a little sweat.
