Direct from Taiwan, a Truly Mesmerising Show!
Keep in Touch! is a circus show that jumps back and forth between the real and the virtual.
This narrative on kinetic energy and the body is embellished with thrilling and exciting circus feats integrated into a never-before-seen giant arc shaped prop, contemporary dance, and variety acts. It discusses methods of connection in a time of changes caused by technology and, as social relationships become increasingly estranged despite being brought “closer” by such technology, how to regain a hold over the self, which has been led astray by the digital wave and the information explosion.
This unique, richly poetic expression of circus art seeks to awaken people’s consciousness for real life. Performers stand atop a two-meter-high and three-meter-wide half-circle shaped prop, displaying their acute sense of balance and capacity to move effortlessly, echoing the delicate relationship between technology and the human body. The performers counter-balance each other, just as we try to find balance between the real and virtual worlds. In the big-data era, we have no choice but to face, continually consider, and discuss the boundary between the two.
