Originally the show is based on the interpretation of the song Splinter Rought, from the band Stiff Cats. Following their collaboration they have performed several times together with the full band or only with their singer and guitarist in a more intimate solo version. The song is about betrayal and jealousy, a proposal intensively staged in the Aerial Hammock, an air element rarely seen that reflects the sensuality and passion of the artist who moves to the beat of live music. A show that has no waste! Suitable for all audiences.

Static Trapeze and Contemporary Dance The main character of this show is a woman overcoming a grief. She appears on scene with a complete darkness broken by two candles that lights barely her face. The background audio is “White Noise”, which reflects her devastation and the emptiness she feels. From this little light she starts tangling up with herself in an acrobatic dance till she flakes out in a threshold between life and lifeless, in the world of dreams. In this latter dimension where everything is possible, even flying. And just like that she overcomes the excruciating silence of darkness and with the beat of the music of 2 cellos she gets propelled into some insane, liquid quick rides, where she express and let her pain go until achieving freedom and abandoning herself fully. Suitable for all audiences Lenght: 5’ each part 10’ fully version Music: White Noise With or without you - 2 Cellos Video: With, Without, Within - extract Technical Requirements: At least 3m height and surface of 2m2 for dancing ANGER Static Trapeze The main character of this show is a metaphorical representation of one of the Seven Deadly Sins: the Wrath. Through this show she explores the movement qualities of an euphoric body, the energy that emerges from anger and the hunger for power. With the beat of the opening song from the film “The Wall”, played by the known band Pink Floyd, that shows the atrocities committed from a powerful position. It’s a very choreographic show with high intensity that increases the public energy. Suitable for all audiences.
