Rigolo Nouveau Cirque - “Balance” (Switzerland)

dir. Miyoko Shida, Lena Roth

A meditative session, an artistic installation created in front of the audience or a display of incredible skill? Straight from Switzerland a ritual circus for the first time in Poland!

The world is out of balance? Coming off its hinges, or can it still save itself. Our primeval fear of losing our centre and our primeval hope of yet being rescued - both fall with what we understand as sense of balance. At times, rarely, we experience or achieve harmony and balance.

These moments inspired Mädir Eugster to create the exceptional performance. Is it possible to call on harmony, balance, create them provoke them? More than a circus show, more than dance and beautiful animation – it is a performance on perfection of nature’s harmony and on still existing possibility for a human being to enter this harmony. Mädir Eugster, a dancer, cirrus performer and sculptor turns into an alchemist in front of the audience. The contemporary shaman challenges destiny and gravity to a duel. Et voilà: Balance! The experiment’s success depends on the artist’s power of concentration. So let us hold our breath!
