Dear Berlin circus enthusiasts,
We are delighted to invite you to our famous contemporary Katapult Kabaret – this time under the title “Homegrown Circus.” An evening that celebrates the creativity flourishing within our very own Berlin scene!
On stage, you’ll experience five extraordinary female performers (Rebecca Dirler, Kerstin Oschabnig, Carolin Liesegang, Luana Yázigi, and Büsra Kayaalp) and one charming host, David Cassel.
All of the artists are based in Berlin – for some, Katapult even serves as their creative home.
Many of you may know Luana and Kerstin more from behind the scenes, where they keep the organizational wheels turning – but within “Homegrown Circus,” they step into the spotlight to present their brand-new acts!
Team & Acts:
Performance: Luana Yazigi
Diamond Tetrahedron Act “Onyx” – by Aethera
Cyr Wheel: Carolin Liesegang
