Creating visual images that defy gravity through unique body aesthetics of acrobatics
Founded in 2020 by Sun, Cheng-Hsueh and Hsia, Ling, 0471 Acro Physical Theatre is one of the few circus troupes in Taiwan that specializes in stacking acrobatics, and is dedicated to using the unique body aesthetics of acrobatics to create visual images that defy gravity and turn the theatre into a world of imagination.
0471 Acro Physical Theatre started with small-scale experimental performances and continues to develop with the goal to stage stacking acrobatics for multiple performers, and to build the troupe’s brand through professional training of acrobatic talents, international exchanges, and performance production. In 2022, the troupe embarked on the “Research Project on the Training System of Stacking Techniques”, which aims to bring more diverse circus arts to Taiwan by developing stacking acrobatics through training and innovation, and creating artistic and commercial performances.

This dance-infused acrobatic circus performance is an eloquent, subtly layered feat of artful invention.
Duo
This dance-infused acrobatic circus performance is an eloquent, subtly layered feat of artful invention. In the spotlight are two agile performers who know how to imbue their extreme technical prowess with considerable feeling. The ever-changing shifts, twists, and turns of a fluctuating relationship are expressed with seamless physical grace and strength but also loaded at times with a tender emotional vulnerability. Whether lifting each other up or bringing each other down, ultimately everything this onstage couple has to ‘say’ is in their bodies.

It makes the heart race, and it makes the heart break.

We look at choreographed sequences of mercurial spatial incursions, erupting via a phenomenally precise mustering of momentary energies.
