Lighthouse Circus Theatre's new piece begins with seven performers draped around a black apparatus that looks like mini-monkey bars. They unpeel and dance, often in pairs, smiling and free. But one woman (Brella Lopez) finds herself alienated. Soon she retreats into the apparatus, whlich becomes a cage. She is now more than solitary; she may consider being no more. But she makes a friend (Sarah Shires) and, to Andra Day's inspirational "Rise Up," finds herself anew. Throughout, the Lighthouse company performs circus acts, often balletic, and when Kelsi Cassidy grabs a suspended hoop, she spins like there's no tomorrow. Worth Watching.
