Forever Overhead
The art of falling
A nimble body in the void, suspended in the air as the centre of the universe. Incomplete wings, which overcome gravity for a split second. The triumphant plunge, before the final, fatal embrace. What goes on in the head of a person falling? In that short instant, in that eternity, between heaven and earth? Forever Overhead: is the first performance by Lisbeth Gruwez, who has been remarkable in productions by Jan Fabre, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Jan Lauwers. Forever Overhead shows the body out of balance and is a physical drawing about the art of falling.
