GAP of 42 outdoor
GAP of 42 - outdoor
Two dissimilar bodies meet acrobatically.
42 cm separate them in hight, 42 kg in weight.
A difference that connects and creates possibilities instead of being an obstacle.
Extraordinary acrobatics make the audience marvel, subtle humour makes them smile. Chris and Iris show in a sympathetic and inspiring way how relations shift and how they meet at eye level.
Philosophical questions are raised, absurd moments arise and a glimps of magic surprises.
Three wooden objects equalize the difference in height and become a thirds partner on stage.
The piece is a compilation of hand-to-hand acrobatics, physical theatre, dance and object theatre.
Acrobatics with precision and ease; funny, poetic and original.

"Few things are as beautiful as a difference
that is not an obstacle but a bridge."
"The work is a tribute to differences,
it serves to eliminate complexes,
it praises the people who are different,
it makes them unique, special, dissimilar."
(La Rioja - Diego Marin A.)
"Seldom has one seen a dance or acrobatic couple
that portrays the great themes of being so subtly,
so poetically."
(Bernd Guido-Weber, Swabian)
