Common ground

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

Common Ground is a generous circus performance advocating respect and cooperation. On a catwalk stage with a scenery of wooden cubes the six award winning artists will push you to the edge of your seat and beyond.

This optimistic and ambitious show constantly pushes at boundaries. Conceptually, in its indictment of boxed-in lives. Technically, through a variety of circus disciplines such as human towers, swinging trapeze and Chinese pole. And theatrically, by engaging with the audience as they literally search for the ‘common ground’ between spectator and artist. With acrobatics, humor and live music this show is both spectacular and intimate and will touch you to your core.
