Hand Balancing Act
Bartłomiej Pankau & Jacek Wyskup

Hand Balancing Act

A high caliber artistic and technical performance which tests the limits of the human body. Choreographed beautifully to enchanting music , this act explores the boundaries of human senses and stability only found within extraordinary trust. In this eight minute static hand to hand act you will feel as though you are watching live Greek statues in movement.
