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.
