Wagenvarieté

Late afternoon, two people at a table. Garlands, balloons, bright colors. They’re sitting in the same position, it’s their birthday and you’ve been invited.
Come in, but watch where you put your feet because it’s a bit messy… Make yourself comfortable. Once the candles are blown out, you can have a piece of cake!
The two people will eat and breathe at the same time. They will dance and open their presents at the same time. They will stand up at the same time and say the same words – but that’s normal, that’s how they are!

From the orchestra pit straight into the circus wagon. Two classical musicians invite you to a prestigious concert of percussion literature. All they have with them is a snare drum, two chairs, two pairs of drumsticks and their agile bodies in a rigid orchestral costume. Playing from the drum, they work their way to the floor, over the walls to the ceiling, from the ceiling to their bodies and those of the audience in order to create an orchestra wagon instead of an orchestra pit. With hot grooves and serious ecstasy, they elegantly and clownishly stumble over the concert conventions that apply to performers and spectators.

Reverb is a manifesto of aerial artistry combining sound effects, aerial acrobatics and light, an immersion of the public on a sensorial trip. Beats, spins and silence guide the audience through the show as a common thread.
The show intends to create a space that situates the audience in a different setting out of the reality, a small space where the main actor can contortion, fly and play with the sounds and textures of the place. The audience is supposed to be stimulates with all the senses.

“J’ai raté le train, Je prends l’éléphant” (I missed the train, I’ll take the elephant) is a creation devised and performed by a fearsome and terrifying ball juggler and a hand balancer. It is a creation that appeals to everyone and excludes no one. It is a clownish dialog between hand balancing, juggling, contortion and a lot of theatrical play. Created, performed and directed by the circus duo Inalto Mare by Valentina Melotti and Cristobal Bascur.

The creation of magical moments between light and canvas – this is how Carola Kärcher understands the art of hand shadow play. And with the simplest of means. The ability to work with hands alone is both a great source of inspiration and a challenge. Hand shadow theater is about focusing on the essentials, ultimately focusing on what is really necessary. The result is a mixture of magical shadow play, tenderness, comedy and philosophical depth, integrated into a story that is not only created on the screen, but also in the minds and hearts of the audience: A shadow from Paris tells a story about magic, the art of transformation and the courage to jump over one’s own shadow.
