CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS
Buy your ticket
Nine performers, nine chairs, a lot of apples and a plethora of dishware pieces fill the stage in a game that tears apart all pre-established notions of object manipulation and tries to reach the dark side of human relations by mixing new circus, theatre and dance.
In this parade of scenes, purposefully inspired by the universe of Pina Bausch, the audience is confronted with a subjective world where reality is violently, relentlessly deformed summoning strong emotions from within while at the same time conveying, in a very unique way, the feelings and points of view of each performer.
It's an opportunity to see, for the first time in Portugal, a company constantly on the forefront of new circus re-inventing the concept of juggling as an artistic discipline.
