A playful spectacle for all ages featuring dreamlike scenes, contortionist escapes, wacky flying machines and encounters with fantastical aquatic creatures.

Choreographer Philippe Saire’s Hocus Pocus promises a whimsical, surreal journey that blurs the line between reality and illusion, presenting a playful spectacle for all ages.

Set in a mysterious frame defined by floating neon lights, two dancers, Lucas and Claus, embark on fantastical adventures. As bodies, faces and props appear and vanish like magic, the performance transports audiences from the clouds to the ocean depths.

Expect dreamlike scenes and a soundtrack to match, contortionist escapes, wacky flying machines and encounters with fantastical aquatic creatures.
