Curtain Call
René Magritte's 'Lovers' meet Christo's monumental aesthetics. Two internationally renowned artists conquer an impressive setting with an exciting mixture of narrative forms. Their large-scale curtains transform their surroundings into an open-air theatre: a city park, a market, the bank of a river become the setting and spectators are seduced into rediscovering the familiar. A wide variety of circus techniques, such as acrobatics on the swinging trapeze and the Chinese pole, provide the vocabulary for a contemporary metaphorical language and always deliver moments of wonder and oblivion of all worries.

Live music is mixed with modern electronic sounds: a saxophone plays the soundtrack to a vertical dance on a rope ladder at a dizzying height. The artists manipulate the versatile setting into elegant choreographies, creating constantly changing perspectives and surprising situations.
