Tutus and dying swans? Not in this show. And yet this circus performance for the young and old is based on a meticulous choreography – with pallet trucks and sledgehammers instead of pointe shoes.
In "Ballet", the seven artists of the Swiss circus FahrAwaY fuse artistry and craftsmanship: the background music for the show is just as homemade as the set and the choreography. Even the instruments are often crafted with their own hands. Countless Euro pallets form the centerpiece of this do-it-yourself circus. Sometimes they are used for parcour jumps, sometimes for roller skating slaloms, then piled up to dizzying heights before they suddenly fall to the ground like dominoes.
