No heights without lows. No end without a beginning. In Beyond the Edge, a group of young people move across a life-size installation of ladders. A performance about how we all try to get higher, but depend on each other in every position. Circus and dance maker Piet Van Dycke is only 26 but already a well-known name at home and abroad. In 2014, he danced for the first time in Karolien Verlinden's fABULEUS production dUb. In Beyond the Edge, he tests the limits of a mixed cast of young people aged between 13 and 23, at the intersection between acrobatics, dance and parkour. Physical dependence has never been more exciting. How do we try to get higher? To what extent do we rely on each other for that? Is height the scariest, or is searching for balance even more exciting? In Beyond the Edge, eight young people move across a life-size installation of ladders. Together they explore the extremes and test how far they can take each other. Physical dependence has never been so exciting. After Exit (2022) and Glorious Bodies (2023), circus and dance maker Piet Van Dycke collaborates for the first time with young people between 13 and 24 years old. Beyond the Edge is a project of the cultural centers of Maasmechelen, Genk, Heusden-Zolder, Houthalen-Helchteren, Lommel and Tongeren together with HET LAB/Krokusfestival and fABULEUS.
