About the production
Berlin jazz drummer and performer Daniel Schröteler meets the Spanish aerialist duo Asvin Lopez and Toni Gutiérrez in the contemporary circus performance "X ". A border crossing between the acrobatic work under the circus dome and the unpredictability of the persistent drum roll. A piece about adrenaline and the control of risk, about the concentration of absolute silence and the salto mortale.
Hanging in the air and humming on the ground, a parallel is drawn to the recurring search of everyday people for the state that elevates them above the normal. The three performers and choreographer Tim Behren trace this pull - the euphoria of daring, the maelstrom of risk, hidden in the moment of the unpredictable and unknown. What does this feeling sound like? What path does it take into our bodies?
We presume that we don't fall down.
