Three dance and floor acrobats move in Rocking as if they were on a ship in heavy weather. With minimal movement and precision, Xenia Bannuscher, Dries Vanwalle and Samuel Rhyner suggest that the ground beneath their feet is shaking.

Paul van de Waterlaat (1984) makes theatre and performances. His work shows the human search for balance and exposes its fragile and temporary nature. He is co-artistic director of the company Zwermers and was previously acting coach at Recirquel (Budapest, Hungary).
