‘Her performance is a revelation...beautifully conceived and timed to perfection.’ The Times
‘A beautiful and touching piece combining subtle theatricality, emotive expression and super skilled aerial tricks…lively, mesmeric and sensitively portrayed.’ The Stage

Actress and aerialist Matilda Leyser climbs into the air to explore the solitude which, paradoxically, we all share. Line, Point, Plane is an aerial triptych, combining physical theatre with circus aerial skills, dance, original writing, music and design. In Lifeline a single rope hangs in space: a life unfolds along it travelling from birth through childhood to maturity. The second piece Dead Point is a play on a rope swing, a story of suspension and weightlessness in search of the point. In Night Plane a solitary figure is revealed climbing the night sky, vulnerable and resilient.
For this project Matilda has collaborated with leading names from the world of theatre and dance including Rosemary Lee, Annabel Arden, Annie Castledine, Bryony Lavery and Michele Weaver.
London Premiere

Commissioned by the London International Mime Festival, ROH2 at the Royal Opera House and The Helen Hamlyn Trust, and Pegasus Theatre Oxford, with support from Arts Council England.
