Duo
This dance-infused acrobatic circus performance is an eloquent, subtly layered feat of artful invention from Taiwan's premiere acrobatic company: two agile performers who imbue their extreme technical prowess with subtlety and feeling. The ever-changing shifts, twists and turns of a faltering relationship are expressed with seamless physical grace and strength, loaded with tender, emotional vulnerability.
Whether lifting each other up or bringing each other down, ultimately everything this onstage couple have to 'say' is in their bodies.
“DUO is a must-see for fans of this genre, revealing the physical limits of the dancers in a series of acrobatic and artistic moves.” — La Provence
"A convergence between dance and circus, it opens up a new perspective for double acrobatics.” — La Terrasse
Presented by: 0471 Acro Physical Theatre and Lewis Major
Founded in 2020 by Sun, Cheng-Hsueh and Hsia, Ling, 0471 Acro Physical Theatre started with small-scale experimental performances and continues to develop with the goal to stage stacking acrobatics for multiple performers. The troupe is one of the few circus troupes in Taiwan that specializes in stacking acrobatics, and is dedicated to using the unique body aesthetics of acrobatics to create visual images that defy gravity and turn the theatre into a world of imagination.
