Olivia Porter - A Bottle of Pills - Performing at Vulcana Women's Circus 15th Birthday Bash

Olivia Porter is an amazing female circus performer. In this video she's performing an adapted version of an act first performed in the Vulcana show "Slingbacks, High Heels and Sensible Shoes" (2008). Filmed at Vulcana's 15th Birthday Bash in November 2010.

From Olivia's description at her website http://www.olivia-porter.com/home.cfm :

A Bottle of Pills
A stray hospital patient in a busy hospital stumbles across a large bottle of giant pills, whether it's the induced pharmaceutical delusion or a coincidental discovery as each pill is revealed we are pulled into a vortex of strange hallucinations and amazing physical feats. Ailments appear as quickly as they disappear. With each new pill from this mysterious bottle we watch her battle voices in her head, bend and alter her body into unhumanly positions, watch her juggle complex patterns as her body drifts behind them in its own drowsy language and suddenly pop into a racy sequence of staccato movements.
This routine is superbly unique in both its skill and storyline. It beautifully translates a physical spectacle into a captivating piece of theater. It runs through a wide range of emotions from the playful to the sad to the outright absurd. The use of movement and manipulation of the objects leave the audience feeling the side effects of this medication.
