Italian premiere
Two circus artists, two different styles, a show that blurs the lines between dream and reality. Symbiosis is a captivating circus extravaganza created by the German Kolja Huneck and the Dutch Luuk Brantjes. In a surreal universe, the artists explore the relationship between human beings and the natural environment. Juggling and acrobatics merge in a choreographic dialogue between bodies, objects, matter and space. A custom dome tent becomes the gateway to a world of delicate wonder in which to immerse oneself without fear.
