GAP of 42

Chris Iris (DE)
Two dissimilar bodies meet acrobatically.

42 cm separate them in height, 42 kg in weight. A difference that connects and creates possibilities instead of being an obstacle.

Extraordinary acrobatics make the audience marvel, subtle humour makes them smile. The artists show in a sympathetic and inspiring way how relations shift and how they meet at eye level. Philosophical questions are raised, absurd moments arise and a glimpse of magic surprises. Acrobatics with precision and ease; touching, poetic and original.
