Cie. Woest fought gravity and experimented with new ideas and movements. It soon became clear that they would not succeed in their mission. They were convinced that their technical and dance backgrounds would enable them to develop new mechanisms or even laws to overcome gravity. But they are ‘only’ dancers who, in their desire to be weightless, got face to face with the naked truth. More than once they had to swallow their pride. Failure, however, inspired them beyond the original question: it yielded new insights and interesting movement material. ‘Falling down’ either embarrassingly or fatally, the new starting point for Lucky Shots was born. A verb that owes its existence to gravity, and therefore, the ideal theatrical challenge

Lucky Shots is a wink to the human desire to be superhuman. Cie. Woest discovered, in her quest for an answer to gravity, a new freedom. They grow strategy out of their failure. The result is a fragmented representation. Spectators are showered with snapshots of life; different accidents, absurd images and silly situations. The laws of gravity are undeniably real. But within the theatrical context of Lucky Shots, the five performers make the rules.
