About the “Double You” show
Double You is a social/circus experiment in borders and identity. It is two performances which happen simultaneously, mutually exclusive yet interwoven, to create one universal experience. Five multi-faceted artists share two stages separated by one wall. The result is a performance without borders, offering each spectator their own exclusive experience.
About the “Be Flat” company
Be Flat is a Ghent circus company founded by Ward Mortier and Thomas Decaesstecker. The mix of acrobatic circus with urban sports provides the individuality of Be Flat. Be Flat is the chameleon among circus artists. By responding to the environment, each performance becomes a unique event. As residents of the urban environment, we question public space. The city is a living organism, in constant change. How do we use this common space? Who are we in today's street scene?
Be Flat stands for equality. We play for everyone. Our goal is to bring spectators from different backgrounds into contact with each other in a creative way during and after the 'interventions'.
