Sinking Sideways is a young acro-dance collective exploring minimalist circus and choreography. Based-e-s in Belgium, the three acrobat-dancers, Xenia Bannuscher, Raf Pringuet and Dries Vanwalle, are looking for new ways to move together.

Their fascination with juggling is the starting point for their new performance.
