About the performance: BEYOND
Choreographer Piet Van Dycke works with six professional artists, each specialized in a different discipline (ladder climbing, acro dance, acrobike, partner acrobatics and (pole) dance). On stage, they turn out to be boundless bridge builders.
With ladders, varying in size and height, players build impressive structures, such as arch sculptures and rotating cranes. They balance the ladders into an exciting, wobbly playing field. They explore unknown heights, climb, float and venture into a daring choreography. Every centimeter and every second matters. They seek out the extremes and discover how far they can push each other.
Physical dependence has never been so exciting. BEYOND is about the vulnerability, absurdity, but also the power of our limits, and how we can push them by working together. Together we dance on the collective ladders of the human imagination.
