“Acrobats” by Renato d’Agostin

One hour at the Shanghai acrobatic show photographed by D’Agostin in 2012.

Maybe a hardly successful show for a western audience as lacking of all the special effects, music and lights we need to be impressed today, leaving instead all the attention to the essence of the acrobats in their evolutions, glowing in the dark in their shiny costumes.

The simplicity of the performance leaves room to its pure nature only and invites the spectator to experience the extraordinary abilities of the acrobats, isolating them from the visual noise we are used to in similar occasions.

D’Agostin’s acrobats float through time and space in a silent dance of light.
