Common Ground. Common Ground

Common Ground is an inspiring circus performance that centres on attention, listening, and a sense of togetherness. The show pushes boundaries on every level — conceptually, by questioning lives confined within rigid frameworks, and technically, by employing a wide range of circus disciplines. Partner acrobatics, aerial trapeze, and Chinese pole are combined with strong theatrical presence. By involving the audience in the creation of the performance, the artists also search for a shared starting point with them.

Andreas Bartl, Emma Laule, Evertjan Mercier, Zinzi Oegema, Marius Pohlmann, Lisa Rinne

Composer: Michael Strobel
