About the performance
In iRRooTTaa two acrobatic players are being overwhelmed by a mass of little, white, ceramic balls. They are far from perfect: not totally round, all slightly different, and also with far too many. The acrobats can never grasp them all, nor can they fully grasp them. Rattling they roll in all directions, jump round and about, suddenly start to fizz in a mouth or are irrevocably stuck to the ceiling.
iRRooTTaa is an invitation to stop trying to keep all the balls in the air. It is an ode to the ‘drop’. Because sometimes dropping is full of new possibilities. Failure is allowed. Changing the rules, too. Who knows, perhaps playing life becomes much more fun if we can let it slip between our fingers every now and then. Surrounded by the audience the players create a musical circus composition full of balls. iRRooTTaa is a stimulating aural and visual circus performance for everyone aged four and up, childrens’ over-stimulated parents included.
