NOT FALLING
tout petit (Belgium)
The higher you climb, the farther you fall. Especially when you are human and don’t have wings. ‘Not Falling’ is a visually intriguing performance full of energy, in which three dancers try to escape gravity. Surrounded by filmed footage of flying birds, floating children and fluttering paper planes, they exude boundless freedom as they leap and fly through the room. In the end, even the audience is permitted to float in the air. The stage is its playing ground, the sky its limit!
»To fly. To float. To fall.«
