Soft Spot is a contemporary circus duet by OLO Company combining object manipulation, physical theatre, and 300 wine glasses. Real-life couple Stina Otterström and Arttu Lahtinen create increasingly precarious constructions of unstable towers, shaking wine glass structures, and near-disasters, exploring how people respond when things stop going to plan. The show examines trust, recovery, and human connection through juggling, handstands, and sliding wooden planks, with a score composed by Mika Forsling built entirely from recorded sounds of wine glasses. Technical virtuosity exists in constant negotiation with uncertainty, as every wobble, hesitation, and recovery becomes part of the live performance.
