CIRQUE – (fr.) circus: in Roman times, an arena for chariot races and gladiatorial games; in modern times, entertainment that usually takes place in a tent with animals and various performers

MACABRE – (fr. danse macabre) dance of death

Using the form of a dark circus, this performance deals with the theme of violence. The characters that make up the “circus acts” are artists/visionaries who have marked our time and who play a dark tango with their persecutors. In addition to them, there are anonymous soldiers who march across our planet to the sound of prayers in different languages, without stopping, through infinite time.

They are joined by characters from the Balkan circus in the form of desperate dancers who cannot stop dancing their dance of passion and blood. Will they reach a new era? And have we, as a society and individuals, entered a new era for which we wonder if it is really new, or have we remained in the museum of time where politicians in their gray, shiny suits replace visionaries? And are we also putting on gray, shiny suits, or are we walking through the darkness through which “the stars are best seen”?
