Combining a philosophical perspective with subtle humour and comical situations, Eduard will remind us that circus is not only a physical discipline but also a space where one can laugh at oneself, experiment, and keep trying again and again.Acrobats Roberts Aub\u0113ns and R\u016bdolfs Stumburs, together with director Andris Ze\u013conka, are joining Eduard Halias in the residency.Eduard Halias is a sports acrobat and circus artist with a brilliant career that was interrupted by injury. For several years, he has been seeking his way back onto the stage. This journey has not been simple: obstacles include the lingering effects of injury, the awareness of ageing, the long hiatus from active performance, and a new environment where his former discipline (the Russian bar) is no longer practised. Yet, through repeated attempts, mistakes, and new discoveries, he is gradually shaping his story of return.The residency at R\u012bgas cirks marks the first stage of this creative journey. It will provide a space for the artist to explore the thematic lines and narrative structure of the show, while also refining various acrobatic techniques (mini-trampoline, airtrack, partner acrobatics, teeterboard, handstands). This process will be akin to a search for a path \u2013 how to return, how to keep trying, and how to learn to see oneself in a new light.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/news\/rigas-cirka-rezidencu-programma-baltijas-maksliniekiem-eduards-halass\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/news\/rigas-cirka-rezidencu-programma-baltijas-maksliniekiem-eduards-halass\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/news\/rigas-cirka-rezidencu-programma-baltijas-maksliniekiem-eduards-halass\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_1324.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_1324.jpg","width":1440,"height":1920},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/news\/rigas-cirka-rezidencu-programma-baltijas-maksliniekiem-eduards-halass\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"R\u012bgas Cirks Residency Programme for Baltic Artists: Eduards Ha\u013cass"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/","name":"cirks.lv","description":"Circus, cirks, stage arts","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#organization","name":"R\u012bgas Cirks","url":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RC-logo-2018.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RC-logo-2018.jpg","width":1753,"height":1240,"caption":"R\u012bgas Cirks"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/VISA_RigasCirks","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/VSIA_RigasCirks\/"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/d00a64fb0fcd5bee6ff73b042bfa8e0a","name":"Renate Kalnina","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fad3668eff488a8f49e3f807a66a086d3e46057f26150af9bc50f5cbae6fc7e0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fad3668eff488a8f49e3f807a66a086d3e46057f26150af9bc50f5cbae6fc7e0?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Renate Kalnina"},"url":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/author\/kalninare\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36529"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36881,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36529\/revisions\/36881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cirks.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
