16:00 – 17:55 CIRCUS LABORATORY with Cirqueon residents
An experiential meeting with projects that you will soon see in czech theatres. A creative laboratory that will reveal the principles of the unique creative principles of three projects: Orbiting Zero by Aleš Hrdlička, The Uncertainty Principle by Ondřej Holba and To the Wall of TeTy’s Circus. You will experience how artists work and look for ways to work with different objects and materials, which involves training new circus “material”.
Performers with rich experience will accompany you through the laboratory: Michaela Stará, Hannah Lenox, Aleš Hrdlička and Ondřej Holba and Kateřina Klusáková.
Come experience it for yourself with us – we look forward to seeing you!
Orbiting Zero is a neo-circus rendition of magical realism, using juggling as the main means of expression and elements of new magic to blur the boundaries between realities. The performance explores the physical (im)possibility of plastic juggling circles and immerses the performer and the audience in an endless spiral of absurd visual chapters that deconstruct the circle as a shape and juggling as an art form.
The Uncertainty Principle is a new circus performance inspired by the fascinating phenomena of quantum physics, such as quantum teleportation, superposition or wave-particle dualism. If you don’t know what these words mean exactly, that’s okay because neither do we.
The scene creates an absurd atmosphere and humor of a world oscillating between a school desk and a scientific laboratory. Two jugglers, an acrobat and a dancer look at quantum physics through the lens of circus disciplines, dance and new magic. They play with the paradoxes of the quantum universe, seemingly breaking the laws of physics and creating unexpected situations. In this world where art meets science and science meets art, anything is possible – except predictability.
Fickle angle is a visual-movement performance with elements of new circus and contemporary dance.
Metal objects, reflections of space, bodies, formations and deformations, disturbances, point of view… Pressure, pull, balance, slip, thrust, tilt, slant, weight, distance, order, tensegrities… Enter one space with us. Can the right point of view be found?
