Winter is here, its dark and cold and embraces us with a feeling of hibernation of turning inwards and staying at home. For the evening Aerial Heights we invite you to step out of that space, come out of your hibernation and look to the skies. We’ve invited some of the worlds most innovative aerialist artists. Those who work at heights, to for a moment take us on a journey, open our minds and taste the feeling of flying.
Featuring
Cá entre nós – Cia Doisacordes (Brazil/Spain) ‘Cá entre nós’ is a Brazilian expression. It is used in the imperative mode, generally precedes or succeeds a very specific event. It describes a space between us which is shared, a liminal space, a ritualistic, sacred, and above all, a space for refuge. The relationships and movements emerging in this space arise from the need to connect and reconnect, concretely, in between two people. What has been said, or done, must remain in that moment and only between those involved, a trust. Therefore, the expression Cá entre nós, could be translated as:“Just between us”.
