El Espectáculo
The company Midnight was created in 2015 by artists Simone Scaini and Joris Verbeeren, self-taught acrobats and jugglers. Seeking to create a form between traditional and contemporary circus, they draw influences from juggling, slapstick, Japanese cuisine, Flairtending, and magic. Moving away from the classic knife thrower and their assistant, while still maintaining the danger and excitement that we all love in traditional circus. For this creation, they have immersed themselves in the universe of knife throwing, investigating this technique of traditional circus for 3 years.
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.
