The Rest of Our Lives

Two bodies, two lives, somewhere in the middle. In a playful, lightly chaotic universe where the everyday slowly tilts, the performers take you towards the inevitable and everything in between. The Rest of Our Lives moves between dance, theatre, circus and play: a joyful, unsettling and moving celebration of the (almost) end. 

Jo Fong (dancer and choreographer) and George Orange (clown and physical performer) bring together more than a century of life and stage experience. With dancefloor hits, a book full of lottery tickets and an infectious kind of eco-optimism, they build a world that is at once light-footed and fragile. 

There is laughter, play, wobbling. But beneath that lightness lies something else: time ticking on, bodies changing, the question of how to keep moving when everything slows down. The beginning of the end, and an attempt not just to carry that, but to celebrate it. In short: we're still here, and that's worth celebrating. 

Jo Fong creates performances in which coming together is central. She often works with large groups of people and in her projects seeks ways to make connection and community visible. Through her initiative "Ways of Being Together" she creates space for co-creation and exchange. 

George Orange is an artist, director and teacher, with a background in circus, clown and physical theatre. He has worked with, among others, No Fit State Circus and creates both solo and group performances that tour internationally.
