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.

How Far Can We Stay from Each Other. Darja Turčenko. Dance house
Five bodies, five paths — one collective reality. A legacy of postmodern dance. The performance “How Far Can We Stay from Each Other” explores embodiment in three dimensions – physical, somatic, and collective – as a means of investigating empathy, mutual perception, and collective responsibility. The work is built on the interplay of movement, objects, and rhythm, which both symbolically and practically expand the expressive possibilities of the body. Structured in four parts, the performance uses repetition, variation, and polyphony to trace a progression from individual action to collective existence, with the development of rhythm drawing on Maurice Ravel’s Boléro as both a structural and emotional point of reference.
