Agenda Municipal / Circus Art CIR-K
Fri 22 Jul
Teatro da Didascália programme
Vaudeville Rendez-Vous Festival 2022
Oliveira & Bachtler (Portugal & United States of America)
Devesa Park (next to the Amphitheatre ) | 19h00
Running time: 50 min. | Rating: M/3
When the doors open and the curtains are drawn, the poetic and dangerous nature of the circus takes up residence on the circular stage. With each revolution of the scenery around the ring, the intricate layers of the circus performer's world are revealed. With an ironic and modern tone, the personal mysteries of this nomadic vaudevillian circus family are exposed. Through various circus disciplines such as clowning, acrobatics, balancing, juggling, illusion, air and contortion in combination with Cir-K's movement and theatrical construction, we approach the inner and outer worlds of these characters. Here human truths emerge through struggles for power, stardom, sexuality, gender identity, love, jealousy, friendships, addictions, ego, loneliness and insecurities... Within the continuous renewal of multiple and varied spaces the world is transformed. Here both the inner and outer universe of the inhabitants are exposed.
