In a society where we are constantly connected, we have become afraid of being alone.
Lone is an abstract solo circus piece that portrays the fine line between alone and lonely. It is a tribute to being alone, to the inventive self, to the self that is comfortable with being by itself. With the combination of a teeterboard, Luuk expands the borders of what teeterboard is, and can be. A discipline that contains a lot of force and power yet has the possibility to canalize that force into a state of weightlessness.
Luuk Brantjes is a circus artist and maker from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. After graduating with his collective 4onBoard from DOCH University for dance and circus in 2020, Luuk’s path diverted into the creation of his first solo performance L O N E, an abstract solo circus piece that portrays the fine line between alone and lonely. His work is based on an alternative approach to his apparatus teeterboard, where the focus lies on finding infinite ways of interacting with the apparatus.
