Beyond the Edge
Piet Van Dycke/fABULEUS, HET LAB & 6 Limburgse Cultuurcentra | BE
How do we try to get higher up? To what extent do we rely on each other? Is height the scariest thing, or is finding balance even more nerve-racking? In Beyond the Edge, eight players move across a life-size installation of ladders.
Location
Verkadefabriek/Grote zaal
Running time
60 min.
Genre
Circus, Dans
In Beyond the Edge, circus and dance maker Piet van Dycke is working with eight young performers aged 13 to 24 for the first time. Together, they explore limits and test how far they can stretch. Physical dependence has never been more nerve-racking.
In 2022, Boulevard audiences sat on the edge of their seats during the performance EXIT in the Populierencirkel. Beyond the Edge is just as exciting.
The performance will have its Dutch premiere on Friday 9 August.
Good to know
- For adults, but also fun for children aged 12 and over.
- On Friday 9 August we facilitate a low stimulus visit around the performance at 3 pm. This low stimulus visit is prepared with the Stichting Onbeperkt Genieten.
"The whole thing forms a wonderful spectacle. It is not a glitter show of individual tricks, but an ensemble of people showing what you can achieve as a group, in height, in ability, in daring, in beauty."
Theaterkrant"On Van Dycke's scene, you don't see perfect supermen. But you see failing people who, thanks to the other, transcend themselves and dare to jump into the deep end."
