The Living Room

In Julia Tanner’s The Living Room, the ropes, pulleys, and props don’t hide behind the scenery: they are the performance. The unimportant becomes important. With an aerial hoop and a fully connected rigging system, Julia builds her own universe.

Julia Tanner turns the familiar upside down. In The Living Room, the ropes, pulleys, and props don’t hide behind the scenery, but instead form the performance itself. The unimportant becomes important. With an aerial hoop and a fully connected rigging system, Julia builds her own entirely unique universe on stage. At first glance, an ordinary living room. Until that space suddenly comes to life.

A dreamlike aerial acrobatics performance set in a sometimes headstrong world. Tension and vulnerability exist in The Living Room alongside playfulness and humor. And just when you think you understand it, she pulls the rug out from under you.
