In the work of dance/circus company Panama Pictures, movement enters a challenging dialogue with architectural scenery. The objects and spaces created by permanent designer Sammy van den Heuvel not only determine the atmosphere but also form a challenge, obstacle and motive for the performers. The dancers and acrobats of Panama Pictures push the boundaries of what is possible and make their physical sensation tangible for the audience.
With Panama Pictures, award winning choreographer Pia Meuthen develops an authentic signature: unpolished and raw, where dance, circus and music flow into each other.
A new universe is created for each performance. Dance and acrobatics intertwined with classical music, electronic beats and vocals.
Pia Meuthen finds her inspiration in literature and philosophy, translating her sources of inspiration into poetic images. The work touches the audience with its great physical impact and the underlying humanity throughout. She depicts worlds that are recognisable to the viewer, but also allow for their own interpretation.
