It takes about 20 minutes to get into the quick change costumes before we go on stage, so if we perform more than one act during your show, please take this into consideration.
All our lamps are battery-powered and wireless. No cables are needed on stage.
The lamps and the cage take about 30 seconds to place on stage with the help of stagehands.
The lightshow is pre-programmed in sync with the music, and stored in a portable computer..
One technician from your staff starts the program and the show begins!

8 There’s literally tension in the air between Chris and his pet goldfish Michelle. The loose slackwire becomes the stage for this little short story where Chris balances the difficulties of performing acrobatic skills while at the same time using his acting skills to give life to the bizarre and absurd relationship between his character and the plastic goldfish!
Splashes of water is unavoidable when Chris takes Michelle with him on the slackwire for a stroll!

18 The big act for all stages!
This act titled Rotor takes places on the legendary revolving ladder and tells the story of two people on their quest to find their true soulmates in a constantly rotating world..
Like human gears in a clockwork mechanism, Mara & Chris perform different acrobatic feats on the ladder to maintain the movement of the timepiece.
All this can be seen as the metaphor for the struggles a couple might face during the different phases of their relationship; always trying to balance their emotions.
Mara & Chris was awarded with the “Wintergarten Berlin Sonderpreis” in The Newcomershow (Krystallpalast Leipzig, July 2014) with this act.
