Nikki Rummer: Unbroken

“Rummer’s athletic tumbling is neatly showcased as if she is constantly saying to the men: anything you can do, I can do better” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (on Kin)

Unbroken is the debut solo performance by physical theatre and circus artist, Nikki Rummer.

One bittersweet Christmas, three generations of the Rummer family are summoned home for one last gathering. Told through the eyes of a daughter, Unbroken weaves fragments of memories into the body of one performer as a dark, previously buried secret finds its way to the surface.

Combining her talent for storytelling and her unique movement language inspired by her acrobatics, gymnastics and capoeira practice, Nikki tells a very personal story with universal resonance…
