The Bridge
Clinging between past and future, the bridge has been destroyed and rebuilt a thousand times. A young woman caught in its history; another one desperately needs to get across. But the stubborn bridge-keeper stands in their way and will try to stop them, no matter what …
With humour, daring and exceptional physicality ‘The Bridge’ reverberates with our battle to defend our place in the world, whilst trying not to destroy it… again… |

 |
Dream - In an enchanting physical performance, mimbre uses flawless acrobatic work to create a poetic dream of flight, executed with precision and touch. The acrobats' bodies become steps towards the sky as one woman's dream takes her away on a journey. |
6 Feat - Watch as one incredible trick transforms into another, in this quirky and uplifting number. Balancing on hands and feet the three female acrobats make astonishing shapes and build improbable pyramids with their bodies, startling and amusing their audience with a highly polished and fun piece.
