The Taigi Cirkas (Lithuania) company will be working on two performances as part of the R\u012bgas cirks Residency Program<\/a> this year from August 3 to 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cinTENSE\u201d<\/strong> is a contemporary circus creation based on the \u2018forces made visible\u2019 principle. The artists draw inspiration from various fields such as architecture, anatomy, and human society. All those fields and the structures within them have various macro and micro examples of tensile and compressive forces being either in balance \u2013 counteracting each other in a dynamic way; or out of balance \u2013 creating movement.
\nIn this work, Taigi Cirkas explores being in and out of balance, reaching the point of failure, and returning to the original state. They draw inspiration from the metamodern way of thinking; as stated in the Metamodernism Manifesto by Luke Turner: \u2018\u2026the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons. We must go forth and oscillate!\u2019.<\/p>\n

The other project is the performance \u201cSaucisson\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 in May, Taigi Cirkas artists Izabele Kuzelyt\u0117 and Elena Kosovec became circusnext 2024 laureates with this piece.
\nIn \u201cSaucisson\u201d, the artists challenge the sacredness of the circus artist\u2019s relationship with their chosen circus object\/discipline, creating a surreal atmosphere where circus techniques are misplaced, and beauty exchanges places with ugliness.<\/p>\n

The contemporary circus company Taigi Cirkas<\/strong><\/a> was formed in 2016 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The main purpose of the group is to tell honest stories emerging from their individual and collective experiences using circus disciplines as a medium to share and connect. The main creative team consists of Konstantin Kosovec, Elena Kosovec, and Izabele Kuzelyt\u0117.<\/p>\n
