“Mary and Charlie are lovers, the circus is their home, She rides the trapeze up in the air, he stands in the ring below, One night, she decides to just let go…”

How do you deal with loss?
The circus of nothingness is a meta-world where the acrobat is a floating memory, the elephants are tremors of anger, the clowns are longing, and the horses are the neigh of madness. Mary’s spirit leads Charlie through memories, emotions, and fantasy, on his way to find redemption.
More than 80 puppets, an empty circus tent and two performers seeking solace.
