dance me to the ball - An act of balance

left image right image

A light-footed play with everything that can be found on stage - balls, ropes, wrapping paper and a ladder. The crystal ball opens up the universe and then the jumpsuit, which has miraculously come to life, dances along. A paper monster eats the rope and the ladder is only incidentally used to gain height.

Circus skills expand the game: a ball rolls over the juggler's head, neck and arms and is kept in balance in every conceivable position; floor acrobatics flow into the dance, and suddenly it's all about balance.

Jeanine Ebnöther Trott creates connections between her artistic skills and the objects around her in an unpretentious and extremely elegant way. And when she suddenly transforms into a clownesk character with a great need to communicate, you suddenly find yourself playing along with her!

contemporary circus, 60 min, for everyone from 6 years of age

From the guestbook

Magnificent, enchanting - I was spellbound for an hour.

 

Very imaginative, great ideas, marvelous music and an outstanding artist. An experience!

 

the whole world animated
touching every movement
experiencing life through dance -
such a marvelous piece!

 

You can really see and feel the fragility of individual elements and recognize the precision with which the movements of bodies, objects, light and music interact.

Enchanting! Poetic... words fail me.
