'The intoxication of height and the excitement of falling...gravity turns on its head in this dazzling trip through space and time'. Danser

Chinese-pole acrobat and video artist Joao Paulo dos Santos teams up with roller-skating musician Guillaume Dutrieux in this exciting exploration of different artistic worlds, horizontal and vertical, visual and sonic, real and virtual.  There's beauty and physical risk-taking, superbly accomplished circus artistry and stunning video imagery, all prompted by a live, Miles Davies-like soundscore played in and around the action.

The duo was a prize-winner at the 2004 Jeunes Talents Cirque, France's most important showcase for new circus performers, and subsequently Joao together with celebrated Portuguese choreographer Rui Horta, was invited to create a solo show for the 2006 Avignon Festival. Trained as a jazz musician, Guillaume Dutrieux has composed scores for theatre and circus, and toured with various reggae, salsa, jazz and funk music ensembles.
