***You can attend the show with a MUCH Circus Festival day ticket, which is valid for all the evening programmes of the day. And there is also a 3-evening MUCH PASS! Click here for the full programme.

MUCH Circus Festival celebrates contemporary circus, a performing art form that uses the trick, the stunt, the circus technique, and combines it with theatrical inspiration and choreographic thinking. 
The closing event of the festival offers local artists an opportunity to share 5-10 minute scenes of performances in the field of circus or related disciplines that they are currently working on. The programme was compiled based on an open call, with the aim of sharing the most interesting and fitting constellation of proposals. The easygoing atmosphere of the evening will eventually organically flow out of the theatre space and lead the audience over into the afterparty of the festival in the foyer.

LINE-UP:

Réka Oberfrank & Máté Váth: GENUA: winds and waves

A genoa sail is a large jib that extends beyond the mast and overlaps the mainsail when viewed from the side, sometimes completely hiding it. The performers work together to show harmony and the power of shared rhythm in the sweeping movements of the sails. 

Performers: Réka Oberfrank, András Engelmann

Marta Matovelle (ES): Broken

Trapeze artist Marta Matovelle finished her circus studies at the Espai de Circ in Valencia in 2019 and moved to Budapest, where she founded the One Thousand Faces collective in 2020. Together they created the production Terra, with which they are currently touring across Europe.

Anna Weszelovszky: Ann-xiety

The production combines object and light manipulation with movement. Her research explores the question of "costume as a tool". In this case, her starting point is the tool that she uses to get to her costume.

Dorottya Podmaniczky: Deep Outside

Podmaniczky Dorottya is a Hungarian contemporary dancer and aerialist. She works on exploring improvisational techniques and movement qualities, where the physical body and the emotional state are in constant dialogue. In her works, she combines contemporary dance and aerial acrobatics. Deep Outside is a contemporary aerial dance solo about the relationship between humans and outer space. Since 2014, she has been a member of the Tűzmadarak company, and since 2020, as co-founder, the One Thousand Faces collective. She tours across Europe with both companies.

Yann Szuter (FR): Something wants to collapse

The French dancer, choreographer and circus artist explores the human body in relation to gravity. The project was born in the middle of the pandemic, during lockdown, and at first started as a joke. "Okay, so is dancing with an iron hoop something we can still do? Alright then.”
