Ákri is a self-ironic, bright, and unusual solo performance that warmly observes how we cope with change. The 22 steps of the staircase, worn and polished to a soft glow, serve as the axis along which the performance’s physical and dramaturgical arc moves. The acrobat’s physical and mental identity changes as they grow older. What happens during this transition? How do we ourselves react to similar changes within us?
The idea’s creator and acrobat, Manel Rosés Moretó, about the performance: “Ákri combines acrobatics with acting, clowning techniques, and while creating it, I asked myself questions: ‘How do we move from one place to another? Can we transform without stopping what we are doing?'”
