Old acrobats - that doesn't even exist. Just like in top-class sport, circus artists end their stage careers at a certain age, right? “Glorious Bodies” shows that this is not true. Because in this piece, six acrobats aged between 57 and 69 are on stage. They don't just stand there, they do crazy things, just like acrobats do, but in a slightly different way than they did 30 years ago. “Glorious Bodies” is dedicated with great tenderness to the bodies of artists over the course of time and the process of ageing. Something that happens to all of us, even right now, at this very moment. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
