Adagio

Adagio is partner acrobatics: one performer lifted, balanced and held by another, with the strength work hidden behind how easy it looks. The act can be played straight as statuesque balance and line, tipped into comedy as a calamity routine, or dressed up sassy for cabaret. Available as a duo or a trio, which matters when the stage or the floor space is tight. Suits gala dinners, festivals, themed events and any night that wants a short piece of real skill rather than background entertainment.
