#failure #tryagain #nevergiveup
The Aerial equipment in the show is fragile, unsafe and unsuitable for use. The characters are fools who keep trying to perform on it, and invest a lot of effort into a battle that is already lost. They ultimately face a question – how to deal with failure?
At what point do you stop trying, give up and accept failure? How do you move on? The show speaks about freedom that comes with a realization: the concepts of success and failure are merely constructs of the mind.
