French acrobatics – high and low .
The contemporary circus collective Collectif de la Bascule is renowned for their world-class acrobatics . The performance Nothing is Less Certain is no exception as such . The highflying and fearless acrobats launch into bold and breakneck stunts demanding an impressive level of balance , flexibility , and precision .
One simple movement sets the whole machinery working and the chain reaction is unstoppable . The acrobats start up a vertical invasion and horizontal occupation : elegant and explosive , so simple and yet so complex . Expect to find yourself watching with eyes wide open , quivering with anticipation !
Collectif de la Bascule drops the circus tent ; they find their circus rings outdoors in the city of Bergen . Their first performance takes place at Torgallmenningen on Saturday 03 June , before moving on to Fløyen on Sunday 04 June – and it is free and open to all .
‘ A rough and energetic acrobatic tilt stunt … We cannot tear our eyes away from the acrobat in red slippers who is flying , twirling , and spinning like a ball . Utter artistry .’ – TÉLÉRAMA
