❤ (Smaller than three) is a contemporary circus, visual, and sound art performance. It is a celebration of the joy of absurdity and the mundane, outrageous liberation – and the power of connection.
Through unconventional hoop and plastic tube manipulation, three performers bring to life a world of tubes, spirals, and sculpture-like piles that fill the space. ❤ symbolizes the deconstruction and re-shaping of a circle, allowing us to vibrate out of a ready-made shape.
On stage, the performers are being themselves: relatable, awkward, fun, kitsch, emotional, and strong. The soundscape is created together with the audience through an interactive installation before entering the performance space. Gentle interaction takes down the fourth wall.
