Programme
Superheroes, Interrupted by Frederike Greusing and Jessica Walters
11.30 | 360° Air-Stage
Mums are the heroes of everyday life – that much is certain. But what do you do when mum is working as a superhero or must save the world, but the nursery calls, and the child has to be picked up? ‘Superheroes, interrupted’ is a trapeze show about mums, superheroes and circus performers. About the fact that everyday life simply cannot be planned and that we must be constantly ready to solve life's big problems. Be ready for an adventure. Also: We've got snacks for everyone!
Lower Level by Kollektiv UNANiM (partner-acrobatics)
12.30 | 360° Round-Stage
LOWER LEVEL thematises community and care and calls on the audience to actively change their perspective: What does it mean to break new ground and live in a world of constant change? Accompanied by contemporary dance and partner acrobatics, various aspects of social behaviour are highlighted. Personal guidance systems continuously create opportunities for interaction between performers and the audience. In an open atmosphere that departs from the classical stage situation, togetherness and ways of watching can be questioned.
Open Stage - Young Stars (performances by young artists)
13.30 | 360° Air-Stage
In this format, young artists can test their pieces in front of an audience. Professionals, children and young people from the Wibbelstetz circus and artists from the LATIBUL Jugendrunde performance group take their place on the stage. There are finished acts, work-in-progress shows and space to experiment.
Angeklopft by Crumble Club (Juggling and artistic performances)
14.30 | 360° round-stage
‘Angeklopft’ is a contemporary circus piece about thresholds, encounters and changing perspectives. Doors separate and connect, they open or close spaces, they stop you or invite you in. But what if you stand in front of it without knowing whether it will open at all? The collective ‘Crumble Club’ brings acrobatics, juggling and an old, green wooden door. A thought-provoking and humorous experience that is full of surprises and makes us think about arriving, waiting and the courage to open new doors.
ZEROs PLAN - Auf der Suche nach Ordnung im Chaos
15.30 | concert-stage
How do solar systems and galaxies form? And what does it take to make them work? With a mixture of theatre, juggling and object manipulation, Vladimir Blanco takes us on a poetic journey. Strong images, few words, quiet moments and a touch of humour – this is how ‘ZERO's PLAN’ tells its story. The play also focuses on acceptance for one another and the careful treatment of our planet – without losing sight of fun and lightness.
Planlos, aber nicht radlos by VeloVie – Kunstrad Duo
16.30 | 360° round-stage
Fleuriane and Antonia are firmly convinced that the bicycle is more than just a means of transport. It is a way of life. For the reigning world champions in artistic cycling, however, the bicycle is above all the link between their wonderful friendship. ‘Planlos, aber nicht radlos’ is about the journey and not the destination, a journey of circling and turning. The two artists are constantly reinventing the wheel. Together.
