Circus
Beyond
Circumstances & Piet van Dycke
‘BEYOND' is an exhilarating and poetic circus and dance performance that explores, challenges and ultimately transcends our boundaries. Six acrobats use ladders to build impressive, precarious structures. Together, they climb, float and explore unprecedented heights in a field of tension where every centimetre and every second counts. They test their limits and discover how far they can push each other. Physical interdependence has never been so exciting.
'BEYOND' is about vulnerability and absurdity, but also about the power of boundaries — and how cooperation enables us to push them. Together, we dance on the collective ladders of human imagination.
