Manpower

Manpower
Welcoming Act
Fixed act
Walk act

Manpower brings to life a nostalgic world where cooperation, strength and craftsmanship take centre stage. Among hoists, pulleys and turning gears, the workers create an immersive, non-verbal performance filled with movement, striking imagery and surprising effects. With its authentic look and references to times gone by, this unique walkabout act is a warm tribute to labour, solidarity and human resilience. ✨

A poetic and visually rich experience that takes young and old back to a time when building the future together was simply a way of life.

The artists are from the Netherlands.
