Equilibrium is an aerial dance short film featuring the performances of Hayley Landry, Nanthini Namasti, Sheilla Shojaie, and Michaela Tran in Toronto, Canada, spring 2022.
The performances on the triple trapeze, partner balancing, and aerial silks in Equilibrium symbolize the balance between individual strength and collective support. As the performers lift, catch, and move with each other, the film reflects on how we navigate social structures and the need for mutual trust in the face of unbalanced dynamics. Through this play of physical and metaphorical balance, Equilibrium offers a visual metaphor for the ties that bind us.
