Circus Unleashed. Riga Circus School Student Performance
The students and teachers of the Riga Circus School have decided to go on a creative camp in nature. The forest becomes a circus training ground.
Director Inga Ungure shares: “The creation of the Riga Circus School performance ‘Circus Unleashed’ is special because it is being developed through close collaboration with Riga Circus School students – future circus artists – and their teachers – practicing circus artists. The students’ stories from their camp experiences helped me create a narrative that audiences and performers alike can relate to. At the same time, these stories inspired the teachers while developing their acts. And just like in nature, diversity and interaction are what you will experience in this performance.”
