A Sensitive Case is a multidisciplinary circus show that mixes fragile mousetrap architectures with precise acrobatic puzzle work (and savage radish catapulting).

A small stage is filled to its edges with mousetrap towers, streets and buildings. In between someone traces every shape and curve of this playground with his body. With precise footwork, handstands and well balanced bendy acrobatics he searches through this place. The journey follows an unpredictable route towards what is hidden inside. However, traps will snap when they want, radishes will fly across the stage and over 500 mousetraps will dance with one human. But who’s leading the dance?
