Wald

Quick Info

The forest is a living organism, it grows, moves, breaks, transforms in an incessant process of germination and decay kept in a fragile natural balance. Six extraordinary handstand artists create this atmosphere on stage with their bodies: they grow together, sway, collapse. This breathtaking choreography about the cycle of life and death redefines the art of handstand balancing in a fascinating collage of bodies. The traditionally solitary discipline becomes a shared form of expression, a collective force, a wild “forest” of arms, legs, and bodies breathing in and out with each other in symbiosis. You nearly forget that the performers are almost constantly moving upside down – an incredible physical feat in itself. The collective was founded at the University of the Arts in Stockholm. All six acrobats work on different projects, but always come together to turn the world upside down.
