Performance

Stick-stok

The talented performers blend circus and dance in this ode to modern society. Each performer has their own stick, their own background, their own discipline. This is where the fun begins.

With their first performance ‘Stick-Stok’, TeaTime Company played more than 500 times in 15 different countries. This was the first step of the artistic signature, an elegant combination of their three disciplines and backgrounds.

Together they can use the sticks to make life difficult for each other: pulling a stick away at a critical moment, almost dropping it on someone’s head OR they can help each other: making sculptures together, building courses to climb through, balancing the sticks and themselves. The sticks allow them to go into our own world where the performers can play, tease and unite together.

Leaning into the simplicity of the object, they discover the combination of their disciplines in a completely new way.
