Communitas
A high-energy romp and an expedition into the concepts of unity and division.
From the first acrobatic encounter to the last traverse, Communitas is an electrifying and genre-defying inquiry into the concepts of balance, support, and trust. Live music accompanies four performers as they tumble, climb, fly and fall in a physical language of storytelling in action, literally supporting each other as they strive for an ever greater collectivity.
A high-energy romp, an expedition into the concepts of unity and division, a mythical wonder-machine that leaves behind the cliches of circus.Julius Ferraro, Phindie
