Mixed Doubles brings together two performances in one night. Carefully paired, each programme showcases different artists, disciplines and perspectives. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ You Too Can Tutu: Building on the success of their 2015 juggling-meets-ballet performance 4X4:Ephemeral Architectures, Gandini Juggling brings this captivating fusion of grace and playful precision to a whole new audience. This time, with a mischievous twist - a witty take on classic ballet storytelling, following two ambitious characters determined to create the world’s first juggling ballet. Bursting with celebratory energy and slapstick fun, You Too Can Tutu comes to life in a vibrant Bauhaus-inspired palette. Colourful pointe shoes and hyper-coloured balls dance together, forming mesmerising patterns and shapes in a joyful spectacle of movement and rhythm. https://vimeo.com/1116689851?fl=pl&fe=cm Knot: Physically exhilarating and touchingly poignant, Knot is the internationally acclaimed circus and dance work by Nikki Rummer and JD Broussé. These talented performers use hand-to-hand circus skills to tell the tale of an impossible choice: How can we be honest with ourselves without hurting those we love? Knot is a finely crafted theatrical journey through the struggles of commitment. Created in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Ben Duke of Lost Dog Dance Company, Knot is a very modern affair told with delicate sensitivity through breath-taking acrobatics and heart wrenching dance. https://youtu.be/OUsPlUME4u0 More about Gandini Juggling | Nikki & JD | Produced by Yellow Everything Age recommendation: 8+ | Running time: 80 mins (including interval)
