Yoann Bourgeois: He Who Falls, Trafó Budapest, 9 April
- 9 Apr 2021 8:00 PM
- contemporary
This thrilling circus-influenced physical theatre piece features six performers on a dramatic tilting stage, appearing to defy the laws of gravity. When the imposing, suspended podium begins to spin, pivot, swing and elevate, the only way to withstand its forces is through agile movement. Faced by such instability, bodies lean, climb, hang and fall in this perilous dance of survival.
The ...
