TSIRKUS FOLIE “INFLUENCY”

A performance by young people, for young people.

“InFluency” is created and performed by young artists from the Estonian contemporary circus organisation TsirkusFolie, bringing their own perspectives and experiences to the stage.

Through circus, they explore what it means to grow up in today’s constant flow of information — a world that can feel exciting, surreal and overwhelming all at once.

Moving between the noise of the outside world and a space of imagination and creativity, the young performers search for balance between reality and fantasy, external influences and their own inner voice.

Elephant. Circus FahrAwaY (CH)

As part of the European Night of Circus, Riga Circus will host the collective Circus FahrAwaY with the family-friendly performance “Elephant.”

The elephant’s time in the circus has passed. Yet this kind-hearted and absurdly large giant embodies the bold spirit of the circus. The performance “Elephant” is also big, unusual, raw, and a little risky—while at the same time refined, gentle, and graceful. A few kilograms of metal, tools, wood, and wool. “Elephant” is an unconventional circus performance that balances thought-provoking moments with warm-hearted humor.

Artists: Nina Wey, Valentin Steinmann, Solvejg Weyeneth
Directing consultant: Luana Volet
Music consultant: Dario Miranda
Costumes: Sandra Frank
Co-producers: Station Circus, Societaetstheater Dresden

Elephant. Circus Fahraway (CH)

As part of the European Night of Circus, Riga Circus presents the performance “Elephant” by the circus collective Circus FahrAwaY (Switzerland).

The elephant’s time in the circus has passed. Yet this kind-hearted and absurdly large giant embodies the bold spirit of the circus. The performance “Elephant” is also big, unusual, raw, and a little risky—while at the same time refined, gentle, and graceful. A few kilograms of metal, tools, wood, and wool. “Elephant” is an unconventional circus performance that balances thought-provoking moments with warm-hearted humor.

Three artists ask themselves which traditions they build upon and what fascinates them. In the circus arena, one can recognize typical circus objects and disciplines such as the trapeze and diabolo. Yet there are also things that do not usually belong to the circus. The three protagonists create something distinctly their own and consistently use objects they have made themselves. Without embellishment—here and now.
