In this creation by Side-Show, the graduating students of Brussels’ Superior School of Circus Arts (ESAC) bring an iconic street scene to the stage: the circus performer at the red light. It is an urban activity - raw, ephemeral, and somewhat punk-inspired - where spectacle unfolds between waiting cars and passers-by. But what remains when this unpredictable street energy enters the theatre?

Under the watchful eye of Aline Breucker and Quintijn Ketels, the stage transforms into a life-sized crossroads. Here, the virtuosity lies not only in the circus acts - which must unfold in just sixty seconds, the duration of a redlight - but also in the waiting. It is found in the raw beauty of a group standing motionless at a pedestrian crossing, and in the poetry of everyday life as it momentarily departs from the ordinary.

True to the "relaxed" performance approach cultivated by Side-Show, the show questions our perception of spectacle, balancing the driving force of speed against the fragile delicacy of the collective.
