Soft Spot is a contemporary circus-theatre production that explores the delicate balance between fragility and resilience.
Through breathtaking acrobatics, physical theatre, and evocative storytelling, the show invites audiences to reflect on the tender moments that define our humanity – the “soft spots” where vulnerability meets strength.
Performed by a cast of extraordinary artists, Soft Spot combines technical mastery with emotional depth, creating a performance that is both visually stunning and profoundly moving. The show’s intimate atmosphere draws audiences into a world where physical feats are not just displays of skill, but metaphors for the human condition.
Soft Spot by OLO Company is a breathtaking circus duet where a juggler and a handstand artist transform fragile wine glasses into a landscape of risk, trust and beauty. With wooden planks, 300 glasses and extraordinary precision, the performers invite you to witness vulnerability, balance, and connection in a way that feels both intimate and daring.
At its core, Soft Spot is about connection – between performers, between audience members, and within ourselves. It asks us to embrace the imperfections and tender places that make us human, reminding us that strength often lies in vulnerability. Visually striking, this non-verbal performance speaks to audiences of all ages.
