Only Bones v1.9
WINNER - Best Dance and Physical Theatre Weekly Award - Fringe World 2023
A journey of evolution, from birth to consciousness. Follow the struggle through a maze of shape shifting surroundings to the edge and beyond. With an immersive foley soundscape, a dash of acrobatics, a sprinkle of clown and a fist full of Kung Fu.
“Dust flies when the physics that creates and stops motion in a nanosecond reaches out to other dimensions” Helsinki Sanomat, 2022
"Crackling, hissing and throbbing. Electronic backgrounds are enlivened by the rustle of foil or rice grains and humorous gibberish of small creatures" Lapin Kansa, 2023
Presented by: Matt Pasquet and Co-produced by Kallo Collective
A lifelong Martial Artist runs away with the circus, combining kung fu with acrobatics and humour with discipline for a unique medley of movements.
Since studying circus at Rosny and DOCH, Matt toured with world renowned company, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, in the show Triptyque. He has co-founded a mono-disciplined handstand company Right Way Down Circus and a multi-disciplined company FAUNA Circus, the latter winning several awards at Adelaide and Edinburgh fringes.
Matt was most recently approached by Finnish company Kallo Collective to create his own version of Only Bones - a minimalist physical theatre and performance project first started by Thom Monkton. Using uniform and restrictive parameters, solo performers create their own unique live shows all with a similar aesthetic.
