Grensgeval & Circus Katoen - iRRooTTaa 4+

Feel, hear, and see how a thousand little balls come to life in an immersive circus experience. accessible – intimate – sensory – poetic – virtuoso A mass of white ceramic balls overwhelms two acrobatic players. They are far from perfect: just not quite round, all unequal, and also way too many. They roll drumming around, jump in all directions, suddenly bubble up in a mouth, or stick irrevocably to the ceiling. iRRooTTaa is an invitation not to keep all the balls in the air. It is an ode to the ‘drop’. Because sometimes falling is full of new possibilities. Failing is allowed. The rules also change. Because who knows, playing life might just be a lot more fun if we can let it slip through our fingers every now and then. With the audience all around, two players arrange a musical circus composition where the balls fly around your shins. iRRooTTaa is a stimulating auditory and visual circus performance for everyone from four years old and their overstimulated parents. This performance plays scene-sur-scène. The tickets are unnumbered (free seating). The performance lasts approximately 45 minutes, there is no intermission provided.
