In Creation
A circus show about the rise and fall of structures
We are currently in a period of artistic research for our next internationally touring production. It doesn't have a name yet, so we call it Project X.
Project X is directed by Alexander Weibel Weibel. The ensemble and the rest of the creative team are yet to be announced.
Themes
Project X is a circus show that challenges and stretches structures – our human structures and what holds our societies and democracies together. Why do they look the way they do? What keeps them in balance?
In a tensegrity structure, the form is held together by tension, balance and forces that pull in different directions. The slightest change can cause the entire building to fall.
And what happens when the most fundamental collapses? Who gets trapped, and who finds freedom?
Project X serves as a reminder that nothing is inevitable and that change is possible. We can harness each other's power and build stronger together towards more inclusive and fair systems.
Actually, it's pretty simple. Regardless of size, every action can be part of a larger change.
