The company Midnight was founded in 2015 by artists Simone Scaini and Joris Verbeeren, self-taught acrobats and jugglers who define themselves with a style that combines traditional and contemporary circus, while maintaining the danger and excitement that we all love in classic circus.
Their show US portrays a unique pair of “Homo Sapiens Idioticus”. Two accomplices, who together have discovered everything that can be done with a knife. Above them is the third actor of the show: the structure, from which about 100 objects hang, ready to fall at any moment, controlled by a computer. The show combines skill and technology with comedy. It’s an unhealthy mix of knife-throwing, a rebellious computer, and a bunch of bad ideas… Impossible to do something that isn’t fun.
