After the unsuccessful premiere of the first part of The Peripherals, an even more unsuccessful attempt to create the second is on the horizon!
Periphery periphery!
Clear recycling…
»Periferijanci part 2 or Everything You Never Wanted to Know« is a contemporary circus project that emerges from a long process of exploring object manipulation and interrelationships through the prism of theatrical clown technique, a subtle dose of black humour and self-criticism. Artists put their main focus on researching new techniques of manipulating objects, the so-called racketeering (objects and subjects), which seeks to address the sociological phenomenon of belonging to one direction of art. Second-rate, less important, secondary, irrelevant, neglected art of manipulation,
the art of juggling;
the art of living;
the art of survival!
Me and him, him and Me in duel, malice, success and banana.
Let’s push everything under the carpet and transfer the ball to someone else’s yard, nobody knows us anyway!
Authors and performers: Domagoj Šoić and Milan Manić
Production: CirkoBalkana
CB2 is the result of a long-term collaboration between two excellent versatile regional circus artists, Milan Manić and Domagoj Šoić, who share a common passion for objects manipulation. The collaboration has been developed by working on a series of art projects of the CirkoBalkana collective since 2013, and finally, in 2021, it will be formed into a duo called CB2.
As part of the CirkoBalkana collective, they won the award for the most innovative cabaret show at the XII Gumbek Days festival with the play CirkoBalkana Chaos Cabaret.
