FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Falling is a primal fear. By engaging with the things that scare us, considerately, are we able to feel more alive? Fight or Flight is a viscerally engaging film following five aerial acrobats working with flying trapeze. From nihilistic training tactics to the authentic dramaturgy inherent in circus, this film hopes to contribute to a body of work that intersects metamodernism and circus.
