Circumstances - BEYOND (8+)

With ladders, varying in size and height, six artists build impressive constructions. They climb, float, and explore unknown heights. Every centimeter and every second count. They seek extremes and discover how far they can push each other. While dancing on the collective ladders of human imagination. BEYOND is a rousing circus and dance performance that probes, challenges, and finally bridges our limits. Choreograaf Piet Van Dycke works with six professional artists, each specializing in a different discipline: from ladder walking, acro-dance, acrobike, partner acrobatics to (pole) dance. On stage, they emerge as boundless bridge builders. “This performance does what circus does: lure the spectators peering and praying – ‘let nothing go wrong!’ – to the edge of their seat and, at the same time, send a message full of humanity into the world.” - ★★★★ Els Van Steenberghe, Knack Focus CREDITS concept and choreography: Piet Van Dycke | performers: Aurora Mesropyan, Helena Berger/Luise Hoffmann, Josse Roger/Patricio Ardissone, Daniele Ippolito/Patryk Klos, Marylou Aupic/Shu-Huan Chang, Georgia Begbie/Lunis Katholnigg | music: Bastian Benjamin | dramaturgy: Marie Peeters | installation: Arjan Kruidhof, Arjen Schoneveld | costume: Oona Mampuys | light design: Raf Wouters, Casper Van Overschee | technique: Casper Van Overschee, Tuur Decoene | production management: Sam Cunningham | production: Circumstances | co-production: Festival Boulevard, CIRC’UIT, Circuswerkplaats Dommelhof, PERPLX, Perpodium, Miramiro, Cirklabo, Stad Leuven and fABULEUS | thanks to: Ella Copermans, Xanthe Van der Jeught, Willem Rys, Destelheide, HET LAB, C-mine, CC MUZE, CC Casino, CC De Adelberg, CC Maasmechelen and the VELINX with support of the Flemish government ǀ circumstances.be
