Charlotte Mooney and Alex Harvey, the dynamic duo behind Ockham's Razor, have spent 24 years performing under the big top - despite their initial vow to never work together again. In fact, it was only after having a daughter that they decided to step back from the spotlight as performers and take on directing roles instead.
Their latest collaboration, "Collaborator," is a loving tribute to their years of working together, chronicling the highs and lows of their partnership with an intimate blend of physical comedy, heartwarming moments, and poignant observations about the ebbs and flows of relationships. The show masterfully explores themes of shared energy, trust, and care - often with devastatingly funny results.
One of the most striking aspects of "Collaborator" is its beautiful balance of tension and release. From the hopeful excitement of day one to the trials and tribulations that come with long-term partnership, Mooney and Harvey's performances are infused with a captivating sense of vulnerability and connection.
The show's central piece features the duo performing an entrancing aerial routine, set within a custom-built square frame that hangs precariously from the ceiling. This simple yet effective setup allows for a level of intimacy and immediacy that draws the audience into the performers' physical conversation, as they lift, curl, fold, and balance around each other with ease.
Throughout "Collaborator," it's clear that Mooney and Harvey have a deep understanding of one another - often to the point where their movements become almost telepathic. In moments like those on stage, it's impossible not to be swept up in the joy and beauty of their partnership. Whether they're laughing or holding each other close, the chemistry between these two is undeniable.
One can't help but feel grateful for Mooney and Harvey's willingness to share this unique glimpse into their relationship with the world - a reminder that even in the midst of hard work and shared challenges, there's always room for love, laughter, and beautiful connection.
