“Words are simply not enough to describe it. Easiest standing ovation ever.” Mindshare at Adelaide Fringe

“Limbo stands out for its bold innovation, blending acrobatics, circus and violin into a performance that is as thrilling as it is emotionally charged.” - My Melbourne Arts

 “A sublime and moving admixture of circus and art music that invigorates both art forms.” - Fever Pitch Magazine

”LIMBO will live long in the memory of those who witnessed this moving portrayal of lives endured under extreme circumstances.” - Classical Melbourne

LIMBO is a new violin sonata by Chloé Charody written specifically for the unique acrobatic skill set of violin virtuoso Sonja Schebeck.

Sonja partners acrobat Josh Frazer in this ground-breaking interdisciplinary duet to tell a poignant narrative through dynamic partner acrobatics, duo unicycle and cyr wheel, completely embracing circus and classical music in one captivating world.

LIMBO is set at Melbourne Park Hotel in 2021, a time when many refugees were detained indefinitely, some having been incarcerated by the Australian Government for up to 9 years. If we think of what it was like to be stuck inside for several months due to the pandemic, imagine what it would feel like after 9 years.

The sonata roller coasts through emotions of anger, frustration, fantasy & escape, exploding with one of the greatest weapons against oppression: hope.
