FOUR VIENNA BASED CIRCUS ARTISTS DIVE INTO A THREE WEEK PROCESS OF EXPERIMENTATION. GUIDED BY TWO ARTISTIC MENTORS FROM THE FIELDS OF FINE ARTS AND PERFORMANCE ART, THEY COMMIT TO EXPLORING NEW PERSPECTIVES ONTO THEIR OWN EXISTING PERFORMANCE MATERIAL;
EXPLORING DIFFERENT WAYS OF INVESTING (PERFORMANCE) SPACE, DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO ARTIST-AUDIENCE RELATIONSHIPS AND DIFFERENT POTENTIALS AT THE INTERFACE OF CIRCUS AND FINE ARTS…
THE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED AS PART OF THE EXPERIMENTAL CIRCUS FESTIVAL ON THE EDGE #10 AND THE RESULTS WERE MEANT TO BE FEATURED AS PART OF THE MAIN PROGRAMME. DUE TO COVID-19 REGULATIONS THE FESTIVAL HAD TO BE CANCELED. HOWEVER, THE PROCESS OF LE MANÈGE RESULTED IN THE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION BELOW:
