FREE ENTRY
Cirque Barbette is in search of equilibrium. And the audience is the necessary counterweight. A gigantic installation formed to challenge gravity arises from an equilibrist play with balance and imbalance. Beams become seesaws, seesaws become swings. Impossible balancing becomes possible by means of iron plates, rope and stones.
Two artists, three musicians and the audience. Everybody needs each other. Weight, trust and mutual dependence are the pillars of a collective playing installation, which shows us the possibility of, together, breaking the boundaries of the possible.
Duration: 60 min.
Presented as part of MOVE IT! 30 Aug.-2 Sept. – see full programme
REVIEW
“Cirque Barbette transformed the scene into an experimental arena exploring the delicate art of the equilibrium. After an equilibristic duet on a seesaw, resounding horns of conches and beating drums invited the audience to join the game, resulting in people throwing themselves at the wooden beams and rocking crossbeams. A big playground for everybody.“ Weekendavisen
