Premiere: November 14, 2025, Bratislava
Abstract
An acrobatic visual performance exploring the importance of art and beauty for the human being, and their impact on the soul. Inspired by the creator’s childhood experience with a kaleidoscope during a hospital stay, the performance weaves together new circus, physical theatre and a rich visual experience accompanied by live music.
Acrobat Helena Škovierová, designer Katarína Komara and musician Boris Čellár first came together on the project Kaleidoscope during White Night (2019).

Since 2013, CirKusKus has brought together a group of people fascinated by circus arts, with a strong desire to create, train and grow. They eagerly share their skills through their circus school in Bratislava and through performances across Slovakia.
Helena Škovierová studied puppetry at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (VŠMU) and ceramic design at the Secondary School of Arts and Crafts in Bratislava. She is one of the founders of CirKusKus and focuses on aerial and partner acrobatics as well as clowning.
Boris Čellár is a musician, composer and arranger. After studying jazz guitar at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria, he began crafting his own musical instruments, and today he works with ambient music and music therapy.
Katarína Komara graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (Department of Industrial Design under doc. F. Chrenka). She created her Kalia (Kaleidoscope) as both a medical aid and an experiential toy with therapeutic and healing effects.
