Profile

Selfie With Eggs is a spectacular and comic self-portrait of an acrobat.

A highly skilled, one-woman experiment, to test the limits of the body and the stability of quite a few eggs…

Against a background of electronic music, Natalie Reckert performs over half the show in a handstand.

Whilst upside down she lets us into the world of the handstand, where arms and legs become pieces of liquorice, and the head becomes a cherry that is about to explode.

A feat of handstand endurance, this pioneering piece of contemporary circus offers a daring portrait of the real (and often painful) world of a circus acrobat.

Age Guidance: Suitable for ages 8+

Duration: approx. 50 mins

Writer & Performer: Natalie Reckert

Co-director: Caroline Intrup

Take a look at our Handstand Workshop with performer Natalie Reckert on Friday 29 November from 6.30 – 9pm.
