Scattered Sideways

“One million memories caught in time, scattering in silence like dust on the wind.”

Scattered Sideways is an immersive circus experience that blends physical theatre, spoken word, sound, and film into a dreamlike journey through disillusion and transformation.

Told through the surreal tale of an old goldfish, the performance shifts between the intimate and the epic set within a visually striking installation.

Expect acrobatics, poetry, and a haunting world where stories float sideways through time and space.

Created by interdisciplinary artist Will Flanagan of Alchemy Arts and directed by award-winning choreographer Eddie Kay, Scattered Sideways follows the acclaimed production The Collector – The Presence of Absence.

Together, this duo continue to push the boundaries of contemporary circus and visual storytelling.
