Lifted

Female-led acrobatic theatre company Mimbre have toured their outdoor production Lifted since summer 2019. Lifted is a collection of funny, poetic and surprising moments, which explore in different ways what it means when one body is carried by another. Or when one person carries two people. Or when a person doesn’t want to be carried. Or when three people find the perfect balance.

Teaming up with three guest choreographers – Yi-Chun Liu from Peeping Tom, HURyCAN and Gary Clarke – this captivating performance experiments with new approaches to Mimbre’s trademark acrobatics. Lifted mixes dance, theatre and circus to celebrate the expressions and impressions that appear when three strong women move, lift and balance each other.

Following the success of the national tours of The Exploded Circus and If I could I would, as well as a number of exciting collaborations, including the Dior Haute Couture Show at Paris Fashion Week, Lifted takes Mimbre back to its roots, creating world-famous, nuanced and breath-taking outdoor theatre.

Mimbre is a female-led company creating nuanced, breath-taking and highly skilled acrobatic theatre. The company use circus and dance innovatively as a physical language to illuminate human connections and promote a positive image of women.

For this project we collaborated with:

Yi-Chun Liu (Taiwan/Belgium) from Peeping Tom.
