Ockham's Razor

Ockham’s Razor is a critically acclaimed aerial theatre company, specialising in creating physical theatre on new pieces of aerial equipment.

The name comes from the medieval philosopher William of Ockham and reflects the way the company work: given a choice between two theories, go for the simpler one thereby keeping the work cogent, artful and easily grasped.

Arc examines the changing relationships between three people suspended in the air on a scaffold structure. The best and the worst of humanity are revealed.

Every action… is a playful look at the bonds that form when people are thrown together. Four strangers meet before twenty-five metres of suspended rope. As they explore this elevated set of scales they discover a world where everything you do will affect someone, somewhere.

Memento Mori is an award winning powerful duet performed on a suspended metal frame. It is based on Holbein’s woodcuts of “The Dance of Death”, where death is represented as a skeleton that dances each of us to our grave.
