Flanders based circus company Grensgeval presents PLOCK!
Jakob tries to copy the painting of his hero Jackson Pollock. But how can he make the right blot on the right spot?
Should he drip, throw, pour or splash the paint? Does he need to work with brushes or sticks or entire containers? He uses all of his body parts, but no matter how he turns, twists, jumps, or rolls: his painting does not resemble the original.
Plock! is visual circus-sound theatre that appeals to all the senses. With buzzing cans, dancing paint, coloured sounds, and an acrobatic painter.
A performance for everyone who likes to colour outside the lines every now and then.
Duration: 55 minutes
This performances is by one of three companies from Flanders who are making a special appearance at Kensington and Chelsea Festival in conjunction with Circuscentrum, the sector organisation for the development of circus in Flanders and Dutch-speaking Brussels.
Main programme event. Suitable for all ages. This is a free show so no tickets are required. There will be other performances taking place in the same location, with shows in this location running from 1pm onwards.
