Performance

Linear

It started with an image: a forest of sticks.
It developed into a material: twenty carbon poles ranging from 20cm to 4m50 long.

Play Video

Thrust into a cold and grey world of straight lines and narrow minds the performers are invited to think laterally.

Fiery pits, umbilical cords, donkeys or just simple sticks. Thrust into a cold and grey world of straight lines and narrow minds the performers are invited to think laterally. Each choice cascades into the next, creating a swirling storm of images.

Struggles, circles, fragility, connections, lines, trapped systems, rules, wit, humour, play. That’s LINEAR.
