statum
Fuse acrobatic virtuosity and live biometric data and you get Statum - a circus show like no other.
Inspired by a series of techno-circus experiments, Statum explores the interplay between human bodies and technology - audiences are invited to inhabit performer's bodies, analyse their heart rate, and explore the relationship between acrobats and the digital in this astounding re-imagining of movement and circus.
