CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS
Premiere
An empty space full of unexpected events. A stage, an interpreter and all the stage machinery taken to the limit. A laboratory space where the real and the imaginary intertwine. How to overcome the vain, this interior crossing full of layers?
A show of contemporary circus where risk and illusion drive us through acrobatics, object manipulation, balances and imbalances challenging the audience in an intense environment.
Vão gathers two creators Vasco Gomes juggler and artistic director of Erva Daninha and Leonardo Ferreira acrobat recently graduated by CNAC (FR). A meeting between two generations, techniques and distinct experiences.
