An unbelievable dance of bouncing balls!

"Juggling becomes magic, circus pure poetry. A must-see."

Wouter Hillaert in De Standaard

Day in, day out, Someone has to put the same balls in the same crate, and no one actually knows why. Instead of letting the walls collapse on Someone, Someone starts throwing the balls against the walls. By making the balls travel ever further through the space, Someone tries to escape the colourless monotony. And when that works, something happens that could be called pure magic.

For Ballroom, you take a seat in a converted lorry. Inside, juggler Stijn Grupping, thanks to a lot of practice and a little magic, engages you in an incredible dance of bouncing balls. A wordless journey for daydreamers.

About Post uit Hessdalen
Post uit Hessdalen (PUH) is the company of juggler and video maker Stijn Grupping and director Ine Van Baelen. Together they create hybrid performances centered on juggling with bouncing balls and (live) music. Their circus and musical theatre is lauded internationally for its attention to detail, technical ingenuity and interplay with the rhythm and drums of musician Frederik Meulyzer. Adopting a pared-down performance language, PUH seeks out ways of representing phenomena such as time, space and our virtual future on stage. For example, by literally trying to escape time, or by making the rhythm of the economic rat race tangible using bouncing balls, or by sharing the stage with musical robots. PUH plays in theatres, schools, jazz clubs, circus festivals, opera houses, squares, forests, car parks, … for young and not so young audiences.
