At the intersection of circus and physical theatre, three acrobats dance with their self-image. A firewoman from The Hague, an accountant from the Bronx and a sensitive macho from Mellila (North Africa) look their inner demons in the eye. Who are you? Who do you think you should be? How do others look at you?
Besides aerial acrobatics and acrodance, two rare circus disciplines are used: 'Icarian games' in which an acrobat does somersaults on the feet of a partner and 'hair-hanging'.
