Nikki & JD Present Knot at Harbourfront Theatre

Physically exhilarating and touchingly poignant, Knot is the internationally acclaimed circus and dance work by Nikki Rummer and JD Broussé. These talented performers use hand-to-hand circus skills to tell the tale of an impossible choice: How can we be honest with ourselves without hurting those we love? Knot is a finely crafted theatrical journey through the struggles of commitment.

First performed at Resolution at The Place in 2016, Knot is a dance and circus performance like nothing you have seen before. Death-defying acrobatics combine with moments of humour and poignancy to create a show that is by turns daring and endearing.  Created in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Ben Duke of Lost Dog Dance Company, Knot is a very modern affair told with delicate sensitivity through breath-taking acrobatics and heart-wrenching dance.

“Knot was up there amongst the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen. My wife and I were both deeply moved by the show – the balances and catches were, of course, unbelievable but the flow and liquidity of your dancing were utterly beautiful. And to thread it through with the storyline – perfect. You totally deserved the standing ovation.” Audience Member, Spring 2018 tour
