Charlotte Mooney and Alex Harvey, the creative duo behind Ockham's Razor, have been navigating their love story for 24 years – from the highs of day one to the lows of sync-less days. Their latest show, 'Collaborator', is an ode to their performing partnership, featuring simple yet telling games, props, ropes, and mesmerizing pendulums that demonstrate the ebbs and flows of energy in any relationship.
At its core, 'Collaborator' is a masterclass in trust, care, attention, and deep listening. Charlotte and Alex take center stage as they perform acrobatic feats in a square frame trapeze setup, their bodies intertwined in perfect harmony. The intimacy of this physical conversation is undeniable, showcasing the strength, support, and vulnerability that any long-term relationship requires.
Throughout the performance, subtle moments shine through – like Harvey's foot pushing upwards against the metal as he hangs beneath the bar, with Mooney mirroring his every move from above. These fleeting details humanize the show, rendering it more than just a showcase of physical prowess.
The soundtrack, courtesy of Holly Khan, seamlessly blends into the action and atmosphere on stage, creating an immersive experience that wraps you in its warm, fuzzy blanket of joy. The result is 'Collaborator', a gentle yet engaging tribute to the beauty of partnerships, where love and trust are put to the test – and prove triumphant.
