'BEYOND' explores the fragility, absurdity, and power of boundaries – and how we can push them by working together. The performers build with ladders and with trust – always higher, always together.
Choreographer Piet Van Dycke brings together artists from a range of disciplines: ladder acrobatics, acro dance, acro bike, pole dance and partner acrobatics. Under his direction, a performance emerges that is full of tension, rhythm and razor-sharp precision. Sometimes the audience holds its breath in unison. Then follows a sigh of relief or wonder.

"Seemingly effortlessly, they perform acrobatic, whirling stunts. Together, they build a sculpture of bodies, throw themselves from great ladder heights into each other’s arms, and make the audience dizzy for a moment by swinging above their heads. The interaction with the spectators is delightful; they look at us as if to say, ‘everything will be alright.’"
