A tightrope walking performance propelled by a live band, Soka Tira Osoa by French tightrope walking company Basinga relies on the public—blurring the line between audience and performer. Loosely translated to “pulling the rope,” Soka Tira Osoa is both a spectacular and participatory project: an aerial spectacle of moving humanity, making its US premiere at PS21.
Playing with the codes of the show, Soka Tira Osoa places all the trades in the place of the artist: riggers, musicians, sound engineer, tightrope walker. Everyone starts from the ground before rising.
