Premiered at Jacksons Lane on 29&30 May 2025

What if everything you see is an illusion? Blending contemporary dance, circus and parkour with TED Talk-style insights and playful visual and sound illusions, this striking performance challenges how we perceive memory, movement, and reality.
Did you know we lose around 50% of a memory’s accuracy each year?
Or that our eyes see the world upside down?

Through choreography, science, and surprise, this piece invites you to look — and think — twice.
