Tipping Point is a breathtaking balance act in which six performers confront a large, barely contained hemispherical object.
The object looks like a broken-off part of a shipwreck or a piece of space debris. As soon as the six climb it, it tilts and they must react immediately to keep themselves standing. That instability reinforces both their vulnerability and their dependence on each other; every movement has an impact, on the object and on each other.
The performers search for balance - of the object and of their mutual relationships - but discover that in doing so they mercilessly collide with the limits of their individual freedoms. Only by surrendering to the laws of gravity and each other can they play the object and stay upright. Only by working together can they for a moment find the perfect balance and control.
An exhilarating performance in which six dancers defy and challenge gravity.
Tipping Point is a challenging performance about dependence, changing power relations and large uncontrollable elements. With a unique, powerful language at the interface of dance and acrobatics, full of risk,Panama Pictures manages to keep the audience on the edge of their seats with it.
Tipping Point is a co-production of Panama Pictures, LOFFT – DAS Theater (Leipzig) and Strijbos & van Rijswijk.
