Mesmerisingly virtuosic, moving and magicalIn the Arms of Morpheus is an innovative new work from ARC Circus Company. This one-person show features ARC Artistic Director and Performer, Robbie Curtis (Cirque du Soleil, Circa, Australian Ballet). The name “In the Arms of Morpheus” refers to the old saying that references the Greek God of Dreams, and means “to fall into a deep sleep, or to dream”. The work uses dynamic and high energy acrobatics, dance, magic and comedy, to tell the story of one person’s experience with isolation, loneliness, and the impacts of an endless news cycle. In this way, the work explores the notion that the past year of our lives has felt like it has passed in a dreamlike state; a year spent at home with a pandemic raging outside. We turn to the media and the news to understand the world around us, in what can feel like a constant bombardment of information and misinformation.To find more information about the show go to<a href="https://www.clusterarts.com/in-the-arms-of-morpheus" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> In the Arms of Morpheus</a>
