Not all good ideas are full-length and some simply have to be tried out in front of an audience. We can expect a varied program with short pieces by artists from various disciplines.
Whether you want to stand on stage or sit in the audience: we are looking forward to seeing you!
Do you want to be on stage too?
The spotlight is on you and a loving audience awaits your art. All disciplines are welcome!
If there are many registrations, we reserve the right to give preference to circus-related contributions.
You can register until September 11th with a contribution of maximum 10 minutes, after that we will let you know if you can participate. We will try to accept as many registrations as possible, but will have to make a selection depending on the number of registrations.
Registration deadline: February 12
Moderation
Jamil Tafazzolian
Jamil Tafazzolian is a magician, director and presenter – a crossover artist between illusion and the stage. Fascinated by theater, circus and classical music from an early age, he trained in acting, singing, choreography, piano and magic. He worked as a teacher, director and cultural manager, including at the Rosmarie Metzenthin Children’s and Youth Theater, and studied cultural management at the HSLU. As co-founder and artistic director of the La Poesia – Kleinkunst im Labor series and with projects in Zurich’s Zirkusquartier, he has been creating space for surprising stage formats for years. Today he works as a freelancer – for Schule & Kultur, TEDx Zurich, the Hotel Waldhaus Sils and Wagenvariété. Jamil is a creative inventor who builds bridges between people, arts and cultures with playful seriousness.
Michel Toupet (Migi)
Caught by circus and theater fever since 2009. He spent five years on the road with Circolino Pipistrello, then the magic came – in the truest sense of the word.
Today, he tours as a freelance magician with his traveling magic theater salon Varieté Triché, works as a circus and theater educator and directs youth theater. He also plays with characters – and charmingly cheats his way through life
