Oui. Non. Attention.
Young people use partner acrobatics as a unique way of paying attention to one another.
‘Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity,’ the French philosopher and activist Simone Weil once said.
In an age where our attention is constantly fragmented by endless stimuli and distractions, we wonder what happens when we consciously focus on other people, on our bodies, and on our surroundings. Building on this idea, young acrobats explore the artistic and physical language of circus company THERE THERE. Partner acrobatics requires a unique kind of attention to the subtle physical cues that help gauge balance and strength. Oui. Non. Attention. treats attention as an act of responsibility and a means of connection.
