YURI

A WORKOUT OPERA

To the sound of an unstoppable work-out track, CLUB GEWALT honors the brave and persistent Yuri van Gelder: the Netherlands number-one athlete on the rings. CLUB GEWALT moves in sync with the gymnastic superhero and delivers a performance with an Olympic-style of ambition. The so-called Dutch Lord of the Rings flew high, fell low and flew high again. And that will be the exact thing to witness in this work-out-opera that goes Immer gerade aus. Sniff magnesium, flex your muscles, climb into the rings and dive for a swing.
