Hold On
Stefano Di Renzo
Circus, Theatre

Hold On is a show where gravity, counterweight and centrifugal force are tested to new limits.
Witness a wordless performance of delightful virtuosity where buckets whirl around, cups and balls fly through the air and planks become catapults. All culminating with the charming character holding himself afloat in the air just by the strength of his grip whilst he is precariously balancing on top of the rope he is holding on to.
He holds himself up, if he lets go he will fall…
