MAT

Rugs on the stage. Seven acrobats are falling over and over again. When the earth slips form under your feet, how do you find your feet again?

Without a foothold, the performers take the plunge and they keep on falling, better and better. In the circus performance ‘MAT’, they challenge themselves and each other to take risks. Because to get better at something, you need to have the courage to fail/fall. And who better to understand the art of falling than a circus performer? An international performance with spectacular acrobatics: about letting the pressure to achieve go, the beauty in failure and the freedom in allowing it.
