Tanzstück für Zirkusbälle und Musik

A charming theatrical performance, somewhere between variety theater, dance and concert. A story without history, told with sounds, thrown balls and bodies. With a juggler, dancer and four musicians, the musical journey leads to the realm of the imagination. Filigreed choreography through which each sixteenth note becomes one with the movement. A performance full of charm that, in a strange way, successfully joins together with an ambitious composition falling under the label »contemporary music.«

In an extremely lively fashion, movement, visual theater and sounds are combined. One senses the trust between the various arts when the juggler becomes the metronome for the musician and the dance frees itself from the juggler’s time. Three languages communicate with each other without words, and the sounds of the flying balls take over the order of the room and the flow of time.

Pieter Schuermans received his training for the flute, double bass and composition in Tessenderlo, Italy and Louvain, Belgium.

France Perpête was originally a gymnast and then a dancer in the company Incidence and has created several choreographies. The musicians are employed by various symphony orchestras in Belgium.
