Common ground

…because together we’re more than just a sum of individuals

How common is the ground? Quite common when on your feet. But what when doing circus? When standing on your partner, your ground is two hands. If you climb a pole it’s a vertical line. When hanging from a trapeze, is the ground above then? The artists challenge each other, push their limits, take care of each other and share not only their artistic vision but also their vision of community with the audience. Common Ground is a show full of acrobatics, positive energy, excitement and humour. The artists shine in their solos but more importantly they perform as a group.
