Beyond - Circumstances

Dans & ballet

No Dutch Required

Choreographer Piet van Dycke works in Beyond with six professional artists, each specialized in a different discipline (ladder running, ACRODans, Acrobike, partner acrobatics and (pole) dance). On stage they turn into boundless bridge builders.

With ladders, ranging in size and height, the players build impressive constructions such as arched sculptures and rotating taps. They balance the ladders into an exciting, staggering playing field. They explore unknown heights, climbing, floating and venture to a daring choreography. Every centimeter and every second is important. They look for the extremes and discover how far they can float. Physical dependence has never been so exciting.

Beyond is about vulnerability, absurdity, but also the power of boundaries, and how we can push it by working together. Together we dance on the collective ladders of the human imagination.

The media about beyond
" The proud relief after a successful stunt is just as important for the experience of performance as the magic of the Waaghalie Fighurders itself). " ""

" Apparently they effortlessly perform the acrobatic, dazzling tours. Together they build a sculpture of bodies, throw themselves from large ladder height in each other's arms and make the audience dizzy by waving around their heads. The interaction with the spectators is pleasant;

" Later the straight ladders are added, with which the players form a hexagonal prism and climb that, purely by keeping each other in balance. It is a wonderful resting point, before working towards a spectacular climax. […] Circumstances with Beyond has again a broad public hit. ”(★★★★ - Filip Tielens, De Standaard)
