“Extreme Symbiosis” is the result of a research project, where we have tried to examine our circus discipline pair acrobatic on a deeper level. Outside the stage and behind the risky moments there is a whole practice that we want to highlight, and we therefore decided to explore what our practice consists of. What happens in the interaction between us when we perform our practice? A collaboration between bodies and minds, individual systems and common senses. A long-standing partnership based on extreme trust which is challenged every day in the practice.

Our goal with this performance is to make a performative staging of our practice that can touch on topics without having to explain too much. We want to let our practice to speak for itself through the physical expression, but also give the spectator an insight into the daily practice of our art. By adding our own documented material such as film, texts and audio interviews we hope that the different medias can complement each other and together convey a nuanced picture of our practice.


In these books the genre of pair acrobatics is depicted, discussed and problematized, seen from our perspective as practitioners. In the white book you will find uncensored diary notes, while the black book is a description of the practice and a problematizing of its phenomenons. [editor summary]
