ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

HUGS & HANDSHAKES is participatory, acrobatic choreography for an outdoor setting in which THERE THERE Company makes everyday  physical touches invisible in spectacular partner acrobatics and blur the boundaries between audience and performers.

An acrobatic choreography with five professional partner acrobats in which THERE THERE Company develops a physical language that is often dance-like, sometimes spectacular and always authentic. And in which everyday touches transform into hand-to-hand acrobatics.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

THERE THERE Company is a contemporary circus company led by Toon Van Gramberen and Hanna Mampuys. They go for a strong and meaningful circus, rough and real, with a focus on the performer and the message rather than on the trick. Starting from the circus discipline hand to hand acrobatics, the interaction of bodies forms the base of their physical language.
