About the show “Us”<\/h3>\n

“Us” is an insight into the daily lives of two unique Homo Sapiens Idioticus. Partners in Crime who like to seek danger, preferably with knives, lots of knives…. Their natural habitat is a small, unsafe universe where something could fall at any moment. A combination of skill, technology, and a touch of comedy.<\/p>\n

Far from the classic image of the knife thrower and his assistant, they are still looking for the danger and excitement that we all love about classical circus. A contemporary circus performance full of technology with traditional touches of juggling, slapstick, Japanese cooking, flairtending and magic…<\/p>\n

The duo has developed a third player: the structure. 100 objects are hung from the structure that can fall at any time, all controlled by a computer and one single red button. For this, they have developed their own system and software. All the theatrical effects are completely controlled by the actors from the stage.<\/p>\n
