BOX is a 30min circus show suitable for indoor and outdoor events.
The show will be a playful duet aimed at a family audience.
BOX uses a 1.2 meter cube, custom built for two performers. The cube is their world and being upside down, performing acrobatics is part of who they are and how they conduct themselves. During creation we will be looking at the sibling relationship between the two performers and how far can they push and challenge each other in their games.
Both performers are international handstand artists and acrobats, I want to see how much can be done upside down, how much interaction we can have, how close you can stand to each other whilst balancing on one arm, what happens if you chase each other or are connected when in a handstand, and what does it take to put the other person off balance.
Everything used in the show, including the performers starts inside the cube.
Throughout the piece more and more props, hand-balancing equipment and a set of steps leading to the top of the cube emerge. The playful relationship between the performers will show the competitiveness in their friendship, as they each struggle to get more attention from the audience than the other, and win the challenges they set up for each other.
