FOLLOW ME
FOLLOW ME is an acrobatic performance in which two urban acrobats transform public spaces on a shared journey through the city.
In this piece, the streets and pavements are the stage. The duo invites the audience to form a band of followers and discover the city in a new way, where architecture and everyday movement become performance. Each presentation of FOLLOW ME is rewritten to suit its location, with the surroundings shaping the flow of the work. Continuously adapted to its surroundings and rewritten for every new location, Follow Me was Be Flat’s first production, created in 2017-2018.
For the best experience, the audience is asked to switch off smartphones and wear comfortable shoes.

Rather than watching from a fixed position, the audience becomes part of the walk, following the performers through streets, squares and neighbourhoods.
