Like a jointed puppet, a performer on canes teeters in a stirring dance.

The show takes a darker turn with the Solo on Crutches performance. Flanked by ominous creatures from the forest, he shows Icarus, and himself, that he can stand on two legs despite all that has kept him down. His ballet is pure emotion and his actions are helped along by the guardians of Varekai. This act is simple and yet difficult at the same time; the artist twirls about the stage, feet far from the ground.
