Together we are so much more than the sum of our parts. Individual organisms, optimized by nature itself over the course of billions of years, connect to form a superorganism. Neuronal circuits connect, intelligence becomes collective, telepathy seems to become reality. The masterful interplay of the CRITICAL-MESS group, the visually striking juggling, all accompanied by electronic sounds – this creates a hypnotic vortex that draws the audience into a trance-like journey through the world of evolution and networks.

With their contemporary juggling, CRITICAL-MESS place the genre in a broad artistic context. The ensemble of seven performers, a lighting designer, and a composer combines dance, theatre, and juggling and explores its potential to represent current and timeless topics metaphorically.
