The life story of an acrobat plays out in the environment and atmosphere of the Museum Court courtyard. Expect breathtaking acrobatics without a single touch of the ground and a deep connection with the Chinese pole, which will be the acrobat’s sole apparatus.
Une partie de soi is a vertical journey that tells the story of a life and reveals the human behind the acrobat. In a refined space, reduced to man, pole and circle, João Paulo Santos presents a dense and strong choreography. Moving as if on a treadmill and never touching the ground, José tests his movement apparatus and showcases the Chinese pole in a way rarely seen. Take a seat and let a single body tell you the story of a soul.
