Do Artists Need Their Audience? Without a doubt—without spectators, there is no show. But can artists also rely on their audience physically? Miguel Rubio takes on this challenge with Playground.
Here, the staging depends entirely on the spectators. Their gaze, their presence, and even their bodies support the structure of the performance. Seated on eight chairs connected to the Chinese pole, they become a key element of the scenography. Those who accept this role will feel just how much the artist leans on them to keep everything in balance. Blending Chinese pole acrobatics, dance, theater, and humor, Playground is a performance full of surprises and extraordinary adventures. It is an aerial and absurd playground where comedy meets acrobatic prowess, suspended more than eight meters above the ground.
After collaborating with numerous companies and diverse projects, Miguel Rubio wanted to take the Chinese pole to the streets. He designed a self-sufficient system in which the audience itself becomes the pillar of the performance. With Playground, the magic of the Chinese pole comes to life, unfolding anywhere and for everyone.
