ORBITAL
By Vanhulle Dance Theatre
Vanhulle Dance Theatre creates bold, physical work rooted in connection, risk, and human experience. Witness an exhilarating fusion of dance, acrobatics, and martial arts that pushes the boundaries of physicality and human connection.
ORBITAL is both intimate and exhilarating, inviting you to feel the strain, the connection and the release. It’s a performance that doesn’t just ask to be watched, but experienced, up close, in the moment. ORBITAL offers a captivating and family-friendly theatrical experience that can spark curiosity about dance, acrobatics, and martial arts.
As the action builds, so does the question, how do we stay connected when everything around us is chaos?
Set to an atmospheric score by Domenico Angarano, the piece unfolds like a physical dialogue: raw, playful, and unpredictable.
Forces seem to pull the dancers together and drive them apart.
So much at stake.
ORBITAL draws you into a world of momentum and resistance, where every movement teeters between control and release. Blending contemporary dance with Tang Soo Do and Capoeira, the performers shift from explosive, high-risk lifts to moments of quiet precision, testing balance, trust, and instinct in real time.
