Do you know that feeling when you’re about to leave? You haven’t yet reached your destination, you haven’t even closed the door behind you, yet your mind is already somewhere else entirely. You haven’t arrived yet, and yet you already feel out of place.

The acrobats of ADM take you on a collective adventure. With the help of the audience, their truck unfolds into a stage, and together they explore life’s challenges, where loneliness becomes strength. The audience isn’t just a witness; they become actors, moving along, shifting perspectives, and even participating in the construction of the set and the acrobatics.

Through spectacular acrobatics (partner acrobatics, Chinese pole), the artists weave a universe that is both technical and human, where the softness of interaction collides with the rigidity of the machine. A moment of vibrant shared experience, where every moment, every movement creates a connection that transcends us.
