LELDE FELDMANE. Work-in-Progress “Fragile Power”
Latvia
Lelde Feldmane represents contemporary art that blends dance, circus, and the physical intensity of pole technique. In the performance “Fragile Power” the performer — through movement, acrobatics, and spoken word — transforms personal experience into a language of expression that weaves together strength and sensitivity, resilience and vulnerability.
At the heart of the performance is a single circus apparatus — a vertical pole — which becomes the axis mundi, the symbolic center of the world. It serves both as a support and a challenge, inviting the performer to explore the balance between strength and fragility. This contemporary dance and circus performance is a healing work about the conscious power of compassion — about care, responsibility, and the dedication of oneself to another. This quiet, often unseen self-giving represents one of the bravest and strongest forms of love.
Lelde Feldmane represent contemporary art that blends dance, circus, and the physical intensity of pole technique. She has performed in leading European circuses, and is the founder of the Winter Circus in Switzerland.
