I’LL TAKE IT is an original work of contemporary circus that navigates the intersections of identity, with a literal and figurative box representing societal expectations, personal fears, and cultural constraints. Three friends. One box. Infinite possibilities. Parallel Exit’s I'LL TAKE IT transports audiences into a world where every open door leads to another - some vanishing as soon as they close. Three friends (Kyle Driggs, Ryan Shinji, and Saffi Watson) stand at a crossroads, their choices weaving a maze of shifting paths and hidden truths. In this heart-pounding contemporary circus experience, physical theatre, acrobatics, and object manipulation collide with a breathtaking display of grace, trust, and play ... in and around a tall box. Led by Artistic Director Mark Lonergan, Parallel Exit creates original works of physical theatre and contemporary circus. The company engages in extensive artistic programming, artist capacity building, and youth education initiatives, throughout New York City’s five boroughs, across the United States, and in countries around the world. Productions have received both local and international praise for their inventiveness, energy, and originality, with presentations at such esteemed venues as Lincoln Center, BAM, The New Victory Theater, 59E59 Theaters, and Symphony Space in New York; the Montreal Completement Cirque Festival in Canada, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the UK (winning a Spirit of the Fringe Award); and festivals in Poland, Spain, Austria, and Japan. Following an extended 2014—2015 German tour in partnership with GOP Variety Arts Theatre Circuit, Parallel Exit served as the powerhouse behind Big Apple Circus’ critically-acclaimed The Grand Tour (2015) and 40th Anniversary (2017) — marking the beginning of a new chapter that radiates with excitement. www.parallelexit.com
