In the Framework:

Vertical dance allows for the discovery of locations not usually used in shows, and is a way of focussing on architectural history and other associated themes. Contemporary circus, as is true of circus in general, ensures a connection is forged with all kinds of audiences – of every culture, language, and social class – to evoke and embody the fact that culture is free and for everyone. These two terms give structure to the performance: a site-specific show like an old-school yet contemporary circus without a tent, taking a building as its stage instead – a place where anything and everything can happen.

Further Info

People - Society

The first axis spans the evolution of society from Antiquity to the present in order to connect the strange with the familiar, to discover hidden aspects, memories and elements of cultural diversity. The thematic axis People | Society focuses on inclusion, the way that European society is shaped and, the ways in which we interact with each other, through the three themes/notions “Europe of Citizens”, “Europe, Daughter of Phoenix” and “Human Mysteries”.
