GLOBE

THE APPROACH FROM A CHILD’S PERPECTIVE

GLOBE responds to today’s world as caught in a net of financial structures and social class differences. The visual spectacular translation is inspired by current themes from world cultures and universal children’s stories. The story of GLOBE is the real world being approached from a child’s perspective. The central character accepts her unprejudiced mind as the truth. Although her imagination is being cherished and cheered but also brutally disturbed, she creates a world that transcends religion, esotericism, and cultural traditions.

The spectacle shows the childlike imagination as instrument to enable one to fly.
Elders, while growing older, lose this devotion to simplicity. Instead, they envy the power of children and let themselves be seduced by superiors and try to crack down the children.
They form an army and plan to ban their freedom.

The scenery, a giant globe, is the energetic surrounding for aerialists, dancers, actors and musicians and projections. This stunning, visual performance won’t remain in its spectacular structure. When actors fly and float around and above the audience, Close-Act takes possession of the area.
