THE CIRCUS-PICNIC OF THE 1ST OF MAY
THE CIRCUS-PICNIC OF THE 1ST OF MAY May 1st/From 11:00 h This year’s International Workers’ Day is being celebrated actively! Considering we’re in a city with an already-built house of circus, why shouldn’t we express our solidarity towards workers together, hoping we’ll at least achieve the three 8s: 8 hours of work, 8 hours of restand 8 hours of culture! In these times, underpaid work has become standard, resting is a distant dream of many, and culture is something the worker has no time or opportunity to deal with, sowe…
The Other Side of the Circus
Yoann Bourgeois, Sanja Kosonen, Alexandre Fray, Chloe Moglia, Jorg Muller, Camille Boitel, Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga and Johann Le Guillerm–are eight contemporary circus artists who, through the documentary “The Other Side of the Circus”, invite us to explore the workings of their everyday life and themselves.

PUSHING BO(UN)D(AR)IES
This moniker encapsulates Lea Ovčarić and Petra Kožljan, two aerial acrobats who have (relatively) recently broadened the spectrum of their artistic expression to include stilts. After many years of participating in various circus projects, performances and shows, they have decided to join forces and together explore the new prop, repurposing it to their liking. Once the performers mastered stilt-walking, they were intrigued by the idea of other possibilities and movements, not just plain walking. Their first efforts were immediately fruitful as they realized the shapes and wondrous images produced by…

(UN)CONNECTED
The Malinada Collective is made up of Hristina Šormaz from Belgrade and Morana Radočaj from Zagreb. While they’ve been performing and practicing the circus arts for many years, both primarily as aerial acrobats, the two have now decided to embark on a collaborative artistic project which unites the interests which they both find most important: aerial acrobatics, textile design, scenography and their friendship. Through their show “(UN)CONNECTED”, they set out to explore the relationship of two people under the influence of physical separation. How does their relationship change in regards…
Noise Circus
NOise Cirkus Talks about the relationship between humans and human-made objects in a post-modern consumer-orientated society. It is a circus and musical semi-improvised performance which is using attributes of noise music and importing them into circus language through exploration of discarded objects a.k.a trash. In a sense how noise music emancipates the sound from having to correspond to established melodical schemes and ways of sound-producing, we want to diversify the formal propositions of contemporary circus practices and tear up some of its constraints. The project is affirmative towards the mentality…
BODY, SOUND AND LIGHT
The idea is to take basice lements of a performance – body, sound and light and treat them as equal elements on stage. It is a research about a way different techniques of producing sound and light can affect and interact with the body of a performer and with each other. The goal is to combine circus techniques along with cinematographic and soundmaking techniques to create a unique audio-visual identity of the performance. Movement of the circus bodies,soundscaping and visual equivalent of music improvisations will all correspond with each…
