[How to be] Almost There

A highly physical male duet in the finely tuned interplay of circus and dance.

About the production

Two men in an atmosphere of breathlessness, despair, silent writhing and clueless rebellion. A sandstorm-like desert of chairs in nowhere. One man lost in the need for companionship and seclusion, for human closeness and distance, and another tearing down the walls. While one falls headlong, the other catches him tenderly, hands him over to the solid ground.

This highly physical male duet surprises with haunting bodywork of an unusual kind – a finely tuned merging of circus and dance.
