ZÉRO Festival: 60 Degrees of Seperation

60 degrees of separation is an invitation to let yourself be transported by the pleasure of the collective.
Everything and everyone moves around you. The drummer is on a rolling podium. The acrobats are in the air, hanging on one aerial strap only. The two acrobats are holding hands and will need yours...
Guided by the driving sound of the drums and thanks to you, being present within reach of the action, impressive tricks will come to life. Let's explore, together, the intimacy linked to circus movements and the joy of the collective.
6 degrees of separation is the name of the theory that says you are at most 6 handshakes away from every other person in the world.
60 degrees is about the angle needed to lift someone off the ground if the person has one hand in the aerial strap and one hand pulled by someone else.
60 degrees of separation is the combination of both and the name of this circus performance.
About ZÉRO Festival
This festival celebrates the power of mime and performance in all their forms: physical, associative, poetic, and engaged. With an accessible and surprising program, ZÉRO invites a broad and curious audience to come and see, feel, and experience.
This festival demonstrates how the body tells stories, how performance can make us feel something that is difficult to explain. From small, intimate works to bold theatrical gestures, from deeply personal to politically or socially charged: ZÉRO shows how rich and relevant mime and performance can be.
ZÉRO Festival is an initiative of Schweigman&, Golden Palace, and Jakop Ahlbom Company, in collaboration with Stadsschouwburg Utrecht, Theater Kikker, and Theater Utrecht. Students from the Master in Scenography (HKU) and the Mime Program (AHK) also contribute to the program's content.
