Heritage, whether tangible or intangible, is often seen as a means for passing on memories, and seems as such to be the perfect tool for building shared identities. But far from being something that is fixed, heritage is constantly being made, unmade and remade as differences arise and provoke dialogue. Heritage is on the move; it is a political, economic and social issue in our contemporary societies.

LEO is a solo physical theatre piece that challenges our sense of gravity and reality through the clever interplay of superlative acrobatic performance and high tech video projection. Universally appealing to adults and children alike, this is the funny, intriguing and moving journey of a seemingly ordinary man whose world becomes physically unhinged. From the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to New York, Moscow and Hong Kong, the multi-award winning show LEO is a one man, one-of-a-kind physical theatre piece that defies theatrical convention as brilliantly as it does the law of gravity. Jaws will drop as LEO takes “off the wall” to a whole new level. SYNOPSISSH LEO is the unusual journey of an otherwise ordinary man whose world becomes physically unhinged. When we discover Leo, he is alone with just a small suitcase, whiling away time in a simple room. As time passes Leo becomes increasingly aware that all may not be what it seems. Leo’s reaction to his situation evolves from alarm and insecurity to curiosity and eventually to playfulness. He not only begins to enjoy his situation but finds new and ingenious ways to exploit it.
