ELEPHANT. CIRCUS FAHRAWAY - BezRindas

The circus collective "Circus FahrAwaY" (Switzerland) presents the circus performance "Elephant".

An elephant's time in the circus has passed. Yet this good-natured and absurdly large giant embodies the brave spirit of the circus. The performance "Elephant" is also large, unusual, raw, a little risky, but at the same time delicate, gentle, and graceful.

A few kilograms of metal, instruments, wood, and wool. "Elephant" is an unusual circus performance that balances thought-provoking moments with heartfelt humor.

Three artists ask themselves what traditions they are based on and what fascinates them. In the circus ring, one can recognize typical circus props and disciplines, such as the trapeze and diabolo. But there are also things that do not usually belong to the circus. The three protagonists create something unmistakably their own and consistently use objects they have made themselves. Without embellishment, here and now.

The circus collective "Circus FahrAwaY" combines acrobatics and craftsmanship: dreams dance on a rope, while stories somersault to live music. They perform outdoors and in tents, in cities and villages, on farms and in new places across Europe. The collective offers professional-level circus performances with high artistic standards and a unique overall aesthetic that reaches far beyond the edge of the stage. "Circus FahrAwaY" turns the circus into an adventure for both young and old audiences.

Since 2010, "Circus FahrAwaY" has performed in 19 Swiss cantons, as well as in Italy, Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, and Poland.
