Coffee Cup, the inventive company that brought you the acclaimed Turning Tables, takes to the NYC subway to create their latest physical comedy, STANDING CLEAR, an ensemble piece that digs deep into the personalities we commute with each day. Have you ever imagined what a stranger's life was like? Pressed right up against each other, but miles away, what happens when we let the strangers we see every day affect us? An ode to the NYC subway, Standing Clear shines a spotlight on the fleeting moments that we rarely recognize as being key to the essential beauty of New York.
