Reach broadly
We are still searching, experimenting, bettering ourselves and our art. We create work when we have something to communicate and it becomes so urgent that we cannot keep it inside anymore, then we share it through our performances. We value the collaborative process, love working and being challenged by different artists representing the most disparate artforms, technicians, and riggers… We always value people that have a head for heights, but at the same time are talented, committed and grounded, and can make good knots…
