Two energetic and ambitious acrobats/dancers strive for straight lines in a world full of curves. How straight do we really want to be? How many curves can we handle?

Linearity attempts to impose straightness on an irregular world. Equipped with rolls of brightly colored tape, these acrobats restructure their surroundings by creating straight lines in the most unlikely places. They deliver daring feats of precision and thrilling symmetry. Little by little, recognizable shapes emerge on the ground and in the air.

But the question remains: how straight do we all really want to be?

Once again, this Swiss company presents a surprising mix of dancehall, parkour, and rhythmic gymnastics. After all, they've done so before at the Krokusfestival with Joy, Little Joy, and Kill your darlings.
