Tape That!

Hands down Circus (IE)
How many problems can be solved with a few rolls of duct tape?

Tape That! is a playful exploration and reinterpretation of the world we live in today; Completely wordless, the two performers create a visual world using colourful tape, object manipulation and partner acrobatics. A simple roll of tape is transformed from a DJ booth into binoculars and stretched to create physical boundaries that the performers must work together to navigate through. With humor and artistic skills, Hands Down Circus plays with the infinite possibilities of tape, and inspires a playful approach to life.
