If you combine classical circus disciplines with acting, dancing and acrobatics, you get circus performance. Never before have so many performances in the genre been part of the programme.
Circus performance is very far from elephants in a circus ring. These are narrative-rich and body-equilibristic forces unleashed on stage in performances about self-deception, mobile addiction and the longing for eternal life. These are heartfelt stories of finding the courage to fly, quirky journeys into public space and magical shapeshifting. If you are looking for performances where acrobatic skill and great stories go hand in hand, you will find them here.
