Ballroom (8 - 14y) - Post from Hessdalen - Family performance

Are you ready for an incredible dance of bouncing balls? For ‘Ballroom’, you take a seat in a converted truck. Inside, there is a set made of concrete in which juggler Stijn Grupping, thanks to a lot of practice, a bit of magic, and impressive skills, tries to escape the colorless monotony. In doing so, he creates a fantastic circus performance with bouncing balls. To the sounds of musicians Jochem Baelus and Frederik Meulyzer, he takes you on a wordless trip for daydreamers. Somewhere, Someone was given the task of putting the same balls in the same bin over and over again. Someone does it day in day out, year in year out, and nobody actually knows why. In the hope that the walls don't close in on Someone, they start throwing at them. Thus, Someone lets the balls travel increasingly longer paths through the space, sometimes gracefully and deceptively simple, sometimes powerful and complex. To - if everything goes well - end up neatly in the bin. Only, everything doesn't always go well. And how much not-well can Someone endure? While the balls become ballast, Iemand Ergens tries to unravel a new dimension in space and time - or is it in the head - to escape the colorless monotony. And when that succeeds, something arises that you could call pure magic.
