In the Arms of Morpheus is a celebration of virtuosic and dynamic physicality, comedy, magic and narrative. The story is a response to our collective wobbles navigating the last 18 months, particularly our obsession with the news, devices and biceps. To be in the arms of Morpheus is to fall into a deep dream.
'In the Arms of Morpheus is ARC Circus's newest work, directed and performed by Robbie Curtis who has worked extensively internationally for the last 15 years with Cirque Du Soleil, Australian Ballet, Circa, Circus Oz, Legs on the Wall and more. It has been supported by Cluster Arts, City of Gold Coast, Home of the Arts, Aerial Angels and Kotb.'
“He imbues his hero with a sense of whimsy, a touch of clown and an old school vaudeville charm that keeps the audience enthralled throughout. With In the Arms of Morpheus, Robbie Curtis not only solidifies himself as a performer to watch, he pushes the boundaries of storytelling in contemporary circus” - Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane

Three generations recast their narrative. Intergenerational circus with lots to say: the personal is political, fury is fun and the acrobatics downright dangerous –especially when life gets in the way.
