In a dreamy and festive mood, the performers explore all possibilities of bamboo, using a seven-meter-tall mobile structure made of stems of the plant. They hang on it, climb to the top, balance themselves and help support each other. They execute aerial suspensions, jumps, juggling and acrobatic stunts, with a soundtrack that includes instruments such as flute and violin, as well as sounds that evoke nature.

The show also brings fantasy and mess. At one point, one of the artists lays face down with a bamboo stem on his back, pretending it is as heavy as a lamppost. His feet skid on the ground, but he can barely move. Children smile at this and many other moments, and a connection with the audience is established.

Created in 2015 to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary, the show has won international performing arts awards, such as the 2017 Feten (Best Street Show) and the quality seal of the 2016 Move Awards (Best Visual Show in Europe).
