Cie bolbol: OMÂ
In OMÂ (a combination of Oma, the German word for grandma, and Mâdarjun, the Farsi affectionate term for grandmother), the German-Iranian circus artist Roxana Küwen Arsalan reimagines a dialogue with her two grandmothers. They have never met in person, but now their granddaughter brings them together for a circus teatime performance full of poetry and humour. Juggling teapots, languages, and questions of privilege, OMA tosses the happenchance of our origins up into the air.

About the Company

Roxana Küwen, born in 1989 in Northern Germany, graduated in 2013 at Fontys Academy for Circus and Performance Art in Tilburg, Netherlands. In her second study year she specialized in static trapeze and foot juggling. Roxana likes to take her audience into her world and make them be astonished, confused or amazed by playing with categories and presence. Apart from that she likes to put her disciplines in various contexts and to work site-specificly. The diversity of her audiences is a decisive factor for her artistic vision.
