2008 “ odNowa “

Circus - theatre performance ( 50 min ) 

Idea, directing, acting : Marta Kuczyńska 

Group of 12 artists

Idea based on a novel „Din – don – wspomnienia klauna „ of Edward Manc. Each performer draw inspiration from an authentic story of old circus artists of golden times of traditional circus. Old artists came back on stage with new spirit.
   Performers tried to show old art forms with new point of view. Sentimental trip into polish circus tradition. 
   Authentic archival video material from polish circus was used to create video clips. Each circus number was introduced by short story from book and a video - clip in order to compare and put  circus art in a modern context. Music for the performance was played live by group of 3 musicians lead by Stefan Głowacki ( funky jazz )
