– an aerial acrobatic contemporary circus piece with live cello music
full evening length, contemporary circus stage piece for theaters / indoor venues. free standing aerial structure
STRIKING ROOTS INTO THE VOID is an interdisciplinary performance piece, merging circus, dance, live music, performance and installation art – featuring beyond-tricks aerial acrobatic movement on a suspended natural pine tree root.
This (not-a-) solo questions body & object relationships, and the distinction between human and non-human beings. The body is merging into an interwoven meshwork of rope, wood, metal, movement, voice and sound, exploring layered interconnectivities of the obviously visible and physical correlations, as well as less tangible bonds, resonances and associations.
On the search for a possible suggestion of how to move in a world of uncertainty, the total work of art invites the audience into an immersive multi-layered experience broadening one’s horizon, to finally see the trees for the wood.
