about the show.
True to its name, Wald reflects the forest. The evolution, growth, decay, death and rebirth of nature and what happens to it when touched by the human hand.
We use handstands as our medium to create imagery and collage on stage. Within our world we pose questions in relation to nature’s ability to balance itself towards harmony and our capacity to manipulate or even halt it’s progress.
The conceptual framework for Wald grew out from the idea of challenging the handbalancing body and the inherent traditions of the discipline. So using multiple bodies and the deconstruction of conventional handstand technique, we are transforming the solo focus of handbalancing into something more expansive.
”Right way down is selected for the CircusLink project, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union”.
