WIRWAR Producties - AWAY WITH IT

5 to 12 years A circus theater performance in which waste steals the show In WEG ERMEE (AWAY WITH IT), four acrobats fall out of the sky and land in the middle of a garbage dump, among old stuffed animals, broken toasters, and empty bottles – things that no one wants anymore. Just like those things, they have also been cast aside. In this visual, wordless performance, the acrobats discover that cast-offs often still burst with possibilities. With spectacular acrobatics, humor, and a good dose of imagination, they build a new, brightly colored world together from everything others have thrown away. They discover that not only objects but also people deserve a second chance. In this way, the acrobats show that ‘being different’ is not a weakness, but rather a strength. And that sustainability does not have to be boring at all. WEG ERMEE is a circus theater performance for everyone from 5 to 12 years old – an adventurous story about working together, reusing, and the art of starting over. Because what you first see as junk can just be the beginning of something very special. concept, direction Laura van Hal | acrobatics Marie Binda, Ole Dampe, Romain Burnier, Charlotte Meyerdierks | dramaturgy Martine van Ditzhuyzen | sound design Nineyards Audio | coaching Jakop Ahlbom company | scenography Jolanda Lanslots | costumes Sanne Oostervink | light design Maarten Verheggen | education Rosa Schogt | PR & marketing Elselien Leemhuis | graphic design Ayla Maagdenberg | video Piet van Steen | acquisition & tour planning Bureau Berbee & Jansen WIRWAR Producties is the circus theater company of theater maker Laura van Hal.
