Montreal’s DynamO Théâtre performs internationally renowned acrobatic theater. In Mur-Mur, a wall, with its graffiti and its secrets, alternates as a playground and refuge for five young characters—two teenage couples and a pesky younger brother—swept up in an air-bound acrobatic ballet. Their flirting, teasing, and fearlessness become a moving reflection of a very special time in life—a world of young love and discovery. Minimal dialogue gives soaring, explosive gymnastics the center stage.

These performances are recommended for ages 7 and up. Running time is 55 minutes.
