MAT - ZINZI • TENT
In a setting of mats, seven acrobats share the art of falling. They challenge themselves and each other to take risks and reach the highest and fall, fall again, better and better. But when you sink deep, how do you get back up? With the mat as the main antagonist, this circus performance tells a story about performance pressure and fear of failure, about taking the plunge and persevering. Because success is one thing, from trial and error there is at least as much to learn, and if anyone knows this principle, then certainly an acrobat.
