A clown show for everyone, made of humour and without words.

An avalanche of dangers engulfs two modern jesters, who in a whirlwind of comedy and poetry will show us how fear of uncertainty and chaos can hold us back. When tension rises and disaster seems imminent, they will surprise us with unexpected solutions, reminding us of how laugher can make the heart lighter and unearth seemingly impossible solutions. Cheeky theatricality and fine comedy are the trademarks of this Swiss duo that has been skilfully blending clowning and theatre for decades.

Family Project
Nonverbal show for all ages

 

A journey through shapes, colours and rhythms, in which only one rule applies: get involved in the game. The very young artists of Circo all’inCirca captivate the audience in a disorderly crescendo of acrobatics, music and joy, inspired by the works of the famous writer and illustrator Hervé Tullet. Just as his revolutionary children’s books stimulated the reader to shake, caress, topple and animate, so Circo all’inCirca invites us to explore the imaginative and transformative dimension of art. Playing is the first and most fun way to participate.

World premiere

Family Project
Suitable for ages 3+

An empty space, two bodies exploring it. From a small, elementary head movement to the complex mechanics of acrobatics, two dancers play with each other guided by the eternal principle of rebound. A tightly woven physical score that shows the joy of variation in what might look the same. What does collaboration really mean? To strive, to resist, to achieve and to fail, never alone but always together: this is René.

A 1980s disco diva and a sanctified queen emerge from a pile of laundry and invite us into their bizarre living room. Two innocent, hairy, sacred characters with a passion for drama, born in the wrong era and lost in their own imperfection, plunge us into a dreamy MTV show, that has the energy of the dance floor and the glamour of David Bowie. With the motto “Life is a Mystery”, Santa & Glitter transports us into a divine universe that combines vertical rope, dance trapeze, hair suspension and physical theatre.

Two elderly people are addicted to watching everything that television throws at them. This rectangular box affects the couple’s beliefs to such an extent that it becomes a projection of their own lives. It is only by switching it off that the power of dreams will return to authenticity. Their cheeks regain colour, their eyes vitality, their movements become agile again. Son tutte palle (That’s a load of balls!) is a wordless show that, combining juggling, clowning and acrobatics, recounts the aches and pains of old age and the deceptions of television with irony and delicacy.
