KOKKON

A stimulating circus-like encounter between turned-to-stone acrobats, dancing concrete, and cobblestones.

Jakob is on his way with feet of concrete. Step by step, he drags and hauls himself through the city, in search of the lightness of a balloon. He invites the audience to follow him and perhaps even to help carry part of his burden. When they finally arrive at a man with a head of concrete, an unexpected encounter takes place.

KOKKON is an outdoor family performance that you don't just watch from a distance, but actively support. On a poetic journey, the audience carries a moving soundscape between building façades and along pavements, giving the city a different skin for a moment.
