'When the world cuts the ground from under your feet, it's good to be able to overcome gravity.'
Which experiences shape us in our lives? And how can we overcome boundaries together? The contemporary circus show Diaries in Motion opens an intimate window into the lives of four young women, where individual struggles transform into shared strength.
Through daring acrobatics, bodies in flight and gestures of trust, they draw a moving collage of resilience across borders, turning vulnerability into inspiring physical poetry.
A Show for our Time
We all strive to be free. But we live in a time in which freedom is threatened in very different ways – abstractly by polarization, or very concretely by war, displacement, or oppression. Do we find something unifying in our search for freedom, even if we bring very different experiences?
We approach this question through circus art and the diverse personal backgrounds of our artists, who come originally from Ukraine, Russia, and Austria and study at European circus schools. Circus arts play with imposing limits and overcoming them with seemingly superhuman skills. And all of this is possible through cooperation and trust. That is the message of "Diaries in Motion".
