Circus, self-help combine in ‘We Are All Friends’

Past Molly Rose-Williams shows have explored what it means to be a twin — how she and her sister are inextricably linked, but also always divided from each other — and embodied vast bodies of water in a 4-foot-square playing space.

Now the Berkeley native brings her unique blend of circus, theater, dance and wit to the subjects of love and self-help. “We Are All Friends,” which runs Thursday-Sunday, Dec. 1-4, at NohSpace, is partly about trying to find love in queer friend circles already crisscrossed by bonds of love, current and past, and partly about the false allure of self-help.

The 50-minute piece, equal parts earnest and ironic, includes original music by Ben Juodvelkis. “We Are All Friends”: 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Friday, Dec. 1-2; 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3; 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4. Free-$50. NohSpace, 2840 Mariposa St., S.F. www.mollyrosewilliams.com
