“On – Off” is a pole performance for two! It’s Oli and Vio,
circus artists from two different horizons. Up there, on the pole, the pleasure of sharing the knowledge and technique drove them to build a common artistic project.
The creation of “On – Off” is a laboratory for two people looking for the discovery and the inspiration around a tool that offers thousand possibilities.
