Indoors/outdoors – All ages from 4
It’s known that we’d do anything for love. The duo Hands Some Feet seem to take this expression to heart with immense gentleness: Jeromy Zwick’s juggling blends mischievously and delicately with the tightwire walking of Liisa Näykki, creating a courtship ritual that will make you melt faster than ice on a sunny day. This tango blends rhythms and colours, blushes of a stolen kiss, mixing dashes of singing with live music. Warm as a summer breeze.

The performance was a wonderful and entertaining experience, with incredible feats of acrobatics, juggling and coordinated skills.
Being able to connect with the innocence, beauty and courage of childhood is a truly precious experience.
The couple work in perfect harmony and end up combining their skills in an artistic and beautiful way.
The whole show is a refreshing and uplifting cool breeze, a spritzer for the soul.
The bodies of the performers seem to merge and it feels like they become one exciting, functional, moving organism.
