Ripple, All ages, TeaTime Company

Every choice tips the balance With the help of a spiral, the three artists of TeaTime Company explore themes such as influence, power, flow, and friction. The spiral allows them to push their boundaries. While the large spiral of no less than 2.5m high rolls in an endless circle across the stage, the artists face constant challenges. They are forced to anticipate and react to the movement of the metal wheel, which sometimes seems to obey and at other times seems to have a will of its own. At any moment, the situation can change due to an unexpected movement of the spiral and performer. production TeaTime Company – acting Bavo De Smedt, Julia Gut and Samuel Rhyner/ Raff Pringuet - concept (object) Bavo De Smedt - final choreography Pieter Visser and Bavo De Smedt - preliminary research and performance direction Hannah Rogerson, Pieter Visser and Bavo De Smedt – dramaturgy Lou Cope - outside eye Pia Meuthen - sculpture Willy Cauwelier | La Chose – videography Maarten Rutten – © photography Hans maakt een foto – music Bastian Benjamin - light and technique Simon Van Beek and Jef Delva - costume design: Sanne Reichert - funding FPK | Nieuwe Makersregeling, Makersfonds Tilburg, Circuswerkplaats Dommelhof - mentor Panama Pictures - with the support of Panama Pictures, Buro Piket, Thassos, UP – Circus & Performing Arts, CIRC’ uit netwerk, Circolito VZW
