How a Spiral works. Art for rainy days
A dancer, an aerial acrobat, a dramaturg, and a rope come together in a shared exploration of rotation, bringing together the disciplines of dance, aerial acrobatics, and hair hanging. Everyone here is connected and interlinked, influencing one another. Two must become one. How a Spiral Works (Spirāle) is an invitation to slow down. The meditative nature of the performance challenges the constant rush of everyday life.
The performance explores the relationship between falling, flying, and catching oneself. It searches for connecting bonds between earth and air. Each longs to find a meeting point, yet this is difficult when existing in different spaces. Two broken pieces together form one whole. Each tries to overcome their individual obstacles while helping the other reach a point of stillness. The performance is an attempt to find new ways of presenting contemporary circus by moving beyond its boundaries and connecting it with dance, digital art, and more. It is a search for new perspectives and innovative applications, while preserving beauty in simplicity.

Common Ground. Common Ground
Common Ground is an inspiring circus performance that centres on attention, listening, and a sense of togetherness. The show pushes boundaries on every level — conceptually, by questioning lives confined within rigid frameworks, and technically, by employing a wide range of circus disciplines. Partner acrobatics, aerial trapeze, and Chinese pole are combined with strong theatrical presence. By involving the audience in the creation of the performance, the artists also search for a shared starting point with them.

Play Dead. PEOPLE WATCHING

Through movement, bodily dynamics, and unusual visual solutions, the performance unfolds into a surreal story about the familiar. With warm irony and a keen eye, it observes…
Zilonis. 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…
