Tape That

Tape That is a charming, light-hearted acrobatic duet by Hands Down Circus.
Two performers construct a visual web using duct tape, object manipulation and partner acrobatics.
A simple roll of tape transforms from a skipping rope to a hat, and is stretched to create physical barriers and obstacles for the performers to navigate over, under and through.
Tape That is a playful exploration of the world we live in; in times of shifting opinions, breakdowns in communication and growing divisions in society, how do we navigate our differences with humanity and support?
When conflicts appear and squabbling arises – will anyone ever agree if it’s called duct tape or duck tape?!
