Piece of video from Gala XY - Trip to the moon



  
 

Experiments with presentation of circus gala show: Basing on structure of a circus variete, I was trying to present gala it in a different way.  
   I do not work with traditional host, that introduces artist on stage, but instead I use video, life and electronic music, light and stenography. 
   Each of those experimental galas organized by my team has a topic. “Gala XY” was about universe. Artists were invited according to the topic and introduced as a episode in cosmic story (cosmic travel, laboratory experiments, trip to the moon, planets and life there, black holes, gravitation...) 
   I wanted to show black circus, witch is not necessary funny but dark and scary like universe. Experienced by failures and glories of this experiment I will keep trying next year to bring new to new circus arts and learn how to communicate ideas thru circus.

The frame of a show was based on tradition of carnival and position of the fool in its history.
   Carnival : time where the world becomes mad, where all the social relations are twisted and all is possible.
   The fool : main figure in carnival balances in-between oppositions: good and evil...
Therefore there was 3 screens ( black / all colours / white ) Fool brings the oppositions, plased on left and right screen in one.
  Invited artist were all symbolizing themes from history of the carnival (coronation of the donkey as beginning of the carnival, twisted relations, jurodiwy – holly fool, kings fool … )
  Video projections placed on different screens were introducing the theme and numbers.
