Until the balls start talking back. What first seems like routine grows into a virtuoso game with collisions, gravity and imagination.
With 'Ballroom', Post uit Hessdalen creates a wordless circus and music theatre performance on the border between labour, boredom and escape. An intimate trip in which the logic of everyday life briefly begins to bounce.
About the company
Post uit Hessdalen is the company of juggler and video maker Stijn Grupping and director Ine Van Baelen. They create hybrid performances in which circus, music theatre, image and rhythm reinforce one another. Bouncing balls, time, space and repetition often form the starting point for work that combines technical ingenuity with a strong sense of dramaturgy.
The company performs for young and not-so-young audiences in a wide variety of places: from theatres and circus festivals to schools, jazz clubs, car parks and public spaces. With 'Ballroom', Stijn Grupping and Ine Van Baelen continue to build their distinctive universe, in which the everyday slowly tilts into wonder.
