Meander

Who leads a flock of birds?

Who controls the flow of the river?

As nature has its natural flow, so does Meander.

In Meander five circus and dance artists weave a visual landscape. They slide and climb over and under each other, soar into the heights or intertwine into one body. Like a new river finding its course, or like a flock of birds migrating as one body, this is how Meander was created. In this continuum of movement and rhythm, the performers highlight their mutual trust despite the frictions and fractures between each other.

Meander is an ode to the process, to our constantly changing view of how we experience each other and our surroundings. By breaking free from traditional lines of hierarchy and positions of power, the five performers create a space where every moment can bring a new discovery, a new question, or a new insight.

After numerous crossovers, partner acrobats Knot on Hands, Felix Zech and Marta & Kim join forces in the performance Meander. Together they won the BNG Bank dance and circus award three times, were selected for Aerowaves, CircusNext, were nominated for the Prijs van de Nederlandse Dansdagen and performed their own work more than 350 times at home and abroad. Under the wings of production houses TENT and Dansateliers, they realize their dream of making a production together with Meander.
