Open Lines
Without those who support her, ensuring her ascent, set the lines, watch her, the tightrope artist has no power. This is not a superhuman figure walking on a tightrope. It is an association of people who, together, make it possible.
For the French company Cie Basinga, collaboration with the local residents and active participation of the audience are prerequisites for the performance to even take place.
Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga is one of the rare high wire artists in the world who performs at great heights. This performance will be accompanied by live musicians and a team of volunteers who will maintain the supports.
“Open Lines” is above all a collective experience and effort: When Tatiana Mosio-Bongonga embarks on a 200-meter long, choreographed journey at a height of 20 metres without any safety harness, it is more than 50 local volunteers from the housing area of Nøjsomhed and from the rest of Helsingør, who will stabilize the line as cavalettists (cavaletti being cross ropes held by body weight), while local musicians become part of the Basinga Band, creating a musical dialogue with the high wire artist as she moves through the air between the buildings in the area of Nøjsomhed.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Basinga is a company gathered around the art of tightrope walking.
We are only the continuous management of our imbalances. These imbalances push us towards each other. Support us. Make us fall or bounce. To hold ourselves up, to maintain ourselves and to move forward, we create links, we build bridges, we cling to walls, to branches, to each other.
Through the research, the education, the sharing and the production of high-flying participative shows, Basinga tries to develop, expand, transmit and communicate this art which, better than any other, reveals how our greatness is based on our weaknesses and our ability to combine them.
