(Audience Review)
A palatable tale of an eating disorder and recovery.
She's at a threshold. Again. Weighing up her options. Hungry for autonomy. Craving for others to decide. Heavy with choice. Light with emptiness. Aching to fly away.
Handful of Nothing is a unique fusion of ingenious story telling, innovative aerial choreography, puppetry, dance, text and song. Taking you on a poetic journey full of surprises, this tale playfully (believe it or not!) explores confronting our inner demons, battles with addiction and questions of worth and weight.
Accompanied by a beautiful original score, Tilly will give you an insight into the puzzling place of limbo in which she often finds herself.
