Inside Juggling

Premiere November 15 +16, 2024 - Studiobühne Köln

"Inside Juggling” focuses on the relationship between people and their media image: it is about authenticity, changing perspectives, staging and self-optimization in today's world. With clubs, camera and live projection, Dutch circus artist Liza van Brakel twists her and our perceptions of reality. She transports the audience into a world of colorful images and visual manipulations, full of unexpected moments and choreographic finesse.

"Inside juggling" celebrates its first performances in the margin of the European weekend for Contemporary circus Zeit für Zirkus or La Nuit du Cirque
