the sock show
‘The Sock Show’ is a brand new outdoor acrobatic performance from Can’t Sit Still, featuring two performers, one massive pile of mismatched socks, and zero shame.
Watch as discarded socks are stitched, swung, and swung from in a show that’s equal parts circus and sock-based existential crisis. Expect dazzling flips, daring balances, and a surprisingly moving ode to the lost art of darning.
This is sustainability with sequins: a celebration of repair, reuse, and ridiculous footwear.
