Chinese-pole acrobat and video artist Joao Paulo dos Santos teams up with roller-skating musician Guillaume Dutrieux in this exciting exploration of different artistic worlds, horizontal and vertical, visual and sonic, real and virtual. There's beauty and physical risk-taking, superbly accomplished circus artistry and stunning video imagery, all prompted by a live, Miles Davies-like soundscore played in and around the action. The duo was a prize-winner at the 2004 Jeunes Talents Cirque, France's most important showcase for new circus performers, and subsequently Joao together with celebrated Portuguese choreographer Rui Horta, was invited to create a solo show for the 2006 Avignon Festival. Trained as a jazz musician, Guillaume Dutrieux has composed scores for theatre and circus, and toured with various reggae, salsa, jazz and funk music ensembles. UK Premiere. Running time 50 mins with no interval.
