What happens when dance clashes with circus? Block is a powerful fusion of dance and circus, pushing the boundaries of both artistic expressions. Twenty large-sized blocks are de-constructed and reformed in an infinite variety of shapes, for the artists to play, move and explore. Block is about life in the city, its challenges and contradictions.
