'What if you take the perspective of circus upside-down?' Lily&Janick in Circus Whispers season 3 ep. 2 Maaike Muis Presenteert:

This is one of the episodes previously released on the channel of "Circus Whispers". A series of behind the scenes portraits of circus-makers and their research. Next series will launch in June 2024.



Circus research, how do you do it? In this second episode of Circus Whispers, we hear how acrobat duo Lily&Janick kept falling out of their handstand. The mirrored floor they work on had everything to do with it. What does your brain do to you when you suddenly stand upright in a mirrored handstand? And how do you deal with the constant self-confrontation. In this episode, host Maaike Muis stands behind the glass like an Alice in Wonderland and TENT director Rosa Boon talks more about the circus marriage between body and object.



Circusonderzoek, hoe doe je dat eigenlijk? In deze tweede aflevering van Circus Whispers horen we hoe acrobatenduo Lily&Janick steeds uit hun handstand vielen. De spiegelende vloer waarop ze werken had daar alles mee te maken. Wat doen je hersenen met je als je plotseling rechtop staat in een gespiegelde handstand? En hoe ga je om met de constante zelfconfrontatie. In deze aflevering staat presentatrice Maaike Muis als een Alice in Wonderland achter het glas en vertelt TENT-directeur Rosa Boon meer over het circushuwelijk tussen lichaam en object.---
