An Encounter
A tender, adventurous and passionate meeting between two persons. An Encounter is a willful and dynamic performance that combines floor acrobatics, dance and physical theatre. Touching in its intimate scale, full of comings and goings verging on slapstick. An Encounter is a performance that is bubbling with smiles, surprises and emotions, asking the most human of questions: how do we connect with other human beings?
“A wonderful acrobatic dance duet that was supposed to be part of Step 2020 and that we just had to have for the 2022 edition of the festival!” – Step
