Glorious Bodies

Show & Culture

Six acrobats, decades spent under the big top, and the rare grace that emerges when time becomes an ally. Choreographer Piet Van Dycke brings together six performers aged between 58 and 70, all shaped by classical circus, sharing their history through balance, high-flying feats, and falls. With humour, restraint, and quiet strength, the piece reveals what time may transform but never erase: precision, the pleasure of play, and the strength of connection. Virtuosity is found not only in the difficulty of the trick, but in lifting and being lifted, in falling and rising together. We leave the theatre assured that the years may mark bodies, but never exhaust their capacity to amaze.
