Linearity, All ages, Joshua Monten

Two energetic and ambitious acrobats/dancers go for straight lines in a world full of curves. How straight do we actually want to be? How many curves can we handle? Equipped with rolls of brightly colored tape these acrobats restructure their environment by creating straight lines in the most unlikely places. They deliver daring feats of precision and exciting symmetry. Little by little recognizable shapes emerge on the ground and in the air. But the question remains: how straight do we all actually really want to be? Linearity tries to impose straightness on an irregular world. choreography Joshua Monten - performance Joshua Monten and Jack Wignall- dramaturgy Florence Ruckstuhl - costume design Sandra Klimek - sound design Matthias Schoch - production Tough Love - co-production Centre de Création Hélvetique des Arts de Rue (CCHAR), Tanzfest Bern - with support of Pro Helvetia, Kultur Stadt Bern, SWISSLOS / Kultur Kanton Bern, Loterie Romande / Corodis, Burgergemeinde Bern, Gesellschaft zu Ober-Gerwern, Oertli-Stiftung - © photo André Wirsig
