H2H, simply short for Hand to Hand is Joli Vyann’s exciting yet thought provoking first show. Mixing dance, circus and theatre in an innovative way. H2H is about hand to hand support physically and emotionally. It explores the fragility of human relationships, of hands supporting another person. What happens when physical or emotional support disappears and what consequences are there? Physically athletic yet graceful the four performers explore a variety of expressions through their hands. H2H will stun audiences with surprising and inventive tricks. They will be mesmerised by the beauty of dance and enchanted by heartwarming characters.

“PACKED WITH FUN AND TRICKS, THE EXPANSIVE THROWING AND CATCHING OF BODIES COMBINED WITH INTRICATE GESTURAL MOTIFS THAT WERE SEAMLESSLY INTERSPERSED WITHIN THE DANCING. INTRIGUINGLY BEAUTIFUL.”
