SKRAM (6+)
Grensgeval, Kopergietery & KGBe
Three acrobatic performers try to keep standing – both literally and figuratively – while the floor under their feet is shifting. They constantly need to adapt to keep their balance. Running, tumbling, sliding they try to find their footing. They cling to each other, to a border, or a shoulder of an audience member. With the audience seated around the stage and in a bath of electrifying live music the performers try, in between the flying, sliding, falling and catching, to find their footing. Should they try to stay in control? Or is it better to learn how to stagger.
SKRAM is an ode to resilience and to the courage to falter, to take risks, to fail, fall and get up again. The performance recognizes a world that is constantly changing, both for adults and for children. A world in which people are balancing what they want with what they need, can and should do. SKRAM thus honours children’s agility and readiness to adapt time and again to new situations. Situations in which they can discover suprising skills. Like the beauty of failing, even if only briefly.
