Note from the Director

In a world in which each city runs to different laws of time and relativity, what becomes important to hold onto?
We have had an absolutely amazing time taking the worlds and ideas from Einstein’s Dreams, turning them on their end and using that as a starting point to create circus.
Relativity explores what it means to love, lose and live within a framework of a lonely scientist trying to make sense of the world.
Energy + motion = Emotion!
-Lydia Harper

Prologue

Relativity is an intertwining of circus and possibility.
Inspired by Alan Lightman’s novel, Einstein’s Dreams, it will calculate, imagine and search for different worlds, different moments and different dimensions that can be dreamt of in the realms of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
What would you give to hold onto a moment forever? How long does it take for your heart to break? How can a moment with a stranger influence our future?
