360° Short performances - International artists on two 360° stages
The 360° Shorts are a highlight, a daily changing programme on two open-air stages with selected international short performances on all festival days. This is where the heart of the festival pulsates. Whether circus or dance, whether on the ground or in the air, whether spectacular or political, funny or avant-garde, anything is possible. It just must be short and the audience sits 360° around the stage. Poetic language in a handstand, questions of identity in a whirling Cyr-wheel, queer-burlesque dance acrobatics, a minimalist headstand duet or ecstatic roller skate punk - here you can see what is currently happening in international dance and circus creation. Free entry - first come first served, in the middle of the festival grounds!

My head is heavy and it hurts
In this surreal autofiction, the artist and his object, the Roue-Cyr, merge. Our protagonist decides to lose his mind on stage: ‘How heavy are my thoughts? Lack of self-confidence, trauma, mangoes, loneliness... All that, in my head.’ This headless solo about letting go is a small but tender journey with the goal of freedom.

Doppie Punte
This duet is about symbiosis and relationship, using hair as a connecting element. The two artists merge hand to hand acrobatics, acro-dance, physical theatre and clowning principles to create surprising figures. A braided plait of their hair connects them physically as they explore the possibilities of their movement. This experience is limiting, but also extremely fun!

Vibra!
A strangely dressed couple enter the stage. They come from a future in which dancing as a couple is once again part of the new generations. They claim to have developed a machine that can recognise the inner time of the participants through the frequency of vibrations. A shared atmosphere is created that connects both individualities: ‘We come to bring the vibrations to you, this is our form of couple dance.’
