About the show

​

2 performers – 4 bodies. Kaleiding is a meditative spectacle between hypnotizing
shapes and new perspectives on contemporary partner acrobatics. With a big mirror as the stage, the audience is invited on a journey into a seemingly perfectly balanced world, which feels like a long look into a kaleidoscope. But what happens, when everything is not as perfect as it seems? If you bring light into darkness and something shifts?
How do we cope with changes in our environment and how long can we hold onto something irreparable?​​
