The Overhead Project - What is Left

The Köln-based Overhead Project stands for performances between contemporary circus and dance – two languages that allow different perspectives on the human body and a multidimensional approach to space and architecture.The company, directed by choreographer and circus artist Tim Behren, evolved from an intense acrobatic duo work with (former) co-founder Florian Patschovsky at the Contemporary Circus School Ecole Supérieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels.
Somewhere between catwalk and military parade, passive voyeurism and solidary depen-dence, the situation on stage varies from appropriation to individual experience, from spatial distribution to division and allocation. In “What is left” five performers occupy the space and are simultaneously taken over by it.
