KNOT
by Nikki & JD
An Exhilarating Acrobatic Duet
Physically exhilarating and touchingly poignant, Knot is the internationally acclaimed debut circus and dance work by Nikki & JD. Nikki & JD use hand-to-hand circus skills to tell the tale of an impossible choice: how can we be honest with ourselves without hurting those we love? Knot is a finely crafted theatrical journey through the struggles of commitment.
Knot was the winner of the 2019 Jacksons Lane and Total Theatre Award for Circus and a 2019 Herald Angel at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Created in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Ben Duke of Lost Dog Dance Company, Knot is a very modern affair told with delicate sensitivity through breath-taking acrobatics and heart-wrenching dance.
This performance is meant for mature audiences 16+.
