An airport - Tempelhof Airport - is a symbolic place associated with a wide range of emotions and major power structures. In this in-house production by CABUWAZI, 15 artists work together in co-operation with Raphael Moussa Hillebrand. They share a love of circus and a sense of home at CABUWAZI Tempelhof, where they have been training together for quite some time. Although some of them came to Germany and Berlin through different circumstances or airports, they all landed at the Kulturflughafen. Together they attempt to illuminate the theme of arriving from their different perspectives both as performers and artists.
Artistic direction: Tadios Cherenet

About the Company
Empowering children and young people regardless of origin, culture and gender - that's what CABUWAZI stands for. We are one of the largest children's and youth circuses in Europe and a safe space for circus, dance, theatre, music and much more. As a low-threshold extracurricular education and movement programme, we not only strengthen the physical abilities and social skills of our training participants, but also promote the exchange of cultures, attitudes and experiences - as the basis for a diverse society worth living in. And circus brings people together - no matter what language they speak or where they come from.
