In the global system in which we currently live, points of rupture and fragility are easily found, one of them being the event that inspired this project, on April 24, 2013, in Savar, Bangladesh: a building collapsed, killing around 1,127 people, mostly workers from companies in the apparel industry of various Western brands. The building fell at 8:45 in the morning, leaving only the ground floor intact. It is a broad reflection on the possibility of collapse, the fragility of systems, exploitation, and the industrial system. To find the post-collapse, the rebirth, the recovery, the reconstruction after destruction. Through dance, acrobatics, object manipulation, and plastic and sound installation, the aim is to establish a documentary circus. This performance takes us on a journey through alternative spaces to the stage in an industrial, multidisciplinary, and reflective path.
What motivates us, what drives us?An intimate, poetic, and provocative universe where the circus emerges as an expression of risk and challenge in the communication of the body and its movement. Juggling, object manipulation, and aerial acrobatics are some of the disciplines that make up this tragicomic contemporary circus show. Will we all be in the right place at the right time?
