I Stared at Empty Space and it Beckoned

By: Zip Zap Circus

We seldom consider the urban metropolis as a playground; most of us perceive it as a landscape of constructed formality. It is a place of business, a place where the majority of the work is done by people who live outside of it. The City is a place that people leave from on holiday; it is not the destination that they journey to.

I Stared at Empty Space and it Beckoned presents an alternative by revealing the potential of the concrete jungle as a place where space itself is the ringmaster of adventure. This is a collaboration by aerial artists, acrobats, stuntmen and dancers.

Directed by: Ryno Keet; choreographed by: Iesu Escalante, assisted by the Zip Zap guest teachers; performed by: Zip Zap Circus School Young Adults programme; urban high-liner: Sylvain Burki; production management: Tamryn Escalante and Tania Majavie.
