Modern circus performances taking place at Hangar 21
The Street Theatre Festival "Bildstörung" is set to host a unique event this August, as German-Irish circus company Hippana.Maleta returns to the stage with their latest creation, "Inside Juggling." Despite limited information about the specifics of the workshop, it is clear that it promises to be an immersive and thought-provoking experience.
"Inside Juggling" is not just a demonstration of juggling skills, but an exploration of juggling as an embodied experience or creative process. The workshop is likely to focus on the internal perception ("inside") of movement and rhythm in juggling, integrating physicality, emotion, and improvisation.
This workshop follows Hippana.Maleta's previous performance, "Runners," which was presented at the "Bildstörung" festival last year. "Inside Juggling" promises to continue the company's tradition of blending physical movement with artistic expression, set against a circus backdrop.
The performance itself humorously and poetically explores the relationship between humans and their media image. It addresses themes of authenticity, staging, and self-optimization, and is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as the "Tiny Adaptions" program of the NRW State Office for Free Performing Arts e.V.
The public workshop of "Inside Juggling" will be held at Hangar 21 on Wednesday, August 20, at 8 pm. Admission for the workshop is free, making it an accessible opportunity for anyone interested in circus arts and creative expression.
Hippana.Maleta will be in residence at Hangar 21 from August 18 to 20, working on "Inside Juggling" during this time. The performance tackles themes of the price of restless adventure and the poetry of contradictory dreams, and features a performer moving between choreography, stage, and projection.
For those who missed Hippana.Maleta's performance last year, "Inside Juggling" offers a chance to witness the company's innovative approach to circus arts and their unique blend of physicality, emotion, and improvisation. Whether you're a seasoned circus enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the workshop promises to be an unforgettable experience.
So, mark your calendars for August 20, and head to Hangar 21 to immerse yourself in the world of "Inside Juggling." Let the dynamic interaction of motion and play, blended with artistic expression, transport you to a world of contradictory dreams and restless adventure.
"The public workshop of 'Inside Juggling' will delve deeper into the creative process of juggling, exploring its internal perception and integrating physicality, emotion, and improvisation."
"The performance 'Inside Juggling' is not only a live demonstration of juggling skills but also a humorous and poetic exploration of the relationship between humans and their media image."
