Über Circus in Flux:
Film evening + book presentation I
Over the last fifty years, circus internationally has undergone a remarkable transformation. As a progressive form of circus, the "contemporary circus" has conquered a new position within society. In Germany, too, the art form is currently developing rapidly.
Die beiden Herausgebenden des Buches “Circus in flux” Tim Behren und Jenny Patschovsky führen in die Kunstform Zeitgenössischer Zirkus ein und zeigen mit drei Filmarbeiten künstlerische Positionen auf. Die französische Zirkuskünstlerin Chloé Moglia spielt mit dem Luftraum und schafft ein physisches Meisterwerk der Schwerelosigkeit. Das Kölner Kollektiv Raum für Zirkus lässt ihre Körper durch die verschiedensten räumlichen Dimensionen rutschen und der Dokumentarfilm “About Julian Vogel“ von Filmemacher Filip Jacobson gibt Einblick in Kreationsweisen des jungen Schweizer Künstlers, der die Abgrenzung zwischen Installation und Performance verschwimmen lässt.
The evening is a cooperation with ARTE, Theater der Zeit and the CircusDanceFestival.
About CircusDanceFestival
The CircusDanceFestival is a nationwide flagship project dedicated to making current performative forms and discourses in the field of contemporary circus and dance visible. As a model institution networked throughout Europe, the concept is based on a combination of an annual festival in Cologne, a sector-specific residency and co-production programme, the promotion of youth and young talent, international cooperation between dance and circus universities, the organisation of regular symposia, and the publication of the VOICES magazine for academic discourse. The CircusDanceFestival was initiated by the company Overhead Project within the framework of the excellence promotion programme TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund and is under the overall artistic direction of the label.
