DESCRIPTION OF THE PERFORMANCE
“Spectrum” is a new circus performance which combines elements of acrobatics, theater, juggling, pantomime and optical illusion. It is a record of an artistic search focused on a refreshing and innovative use of circus arts with the use of physical theater techniques.
“Spectrum” is a vivid and minimalist show which reveals the possible harmony between the body and the object. Humor, dynamism and diversity, combined with a deliberate game of gestures and hidden meanings, create a universally understandable image directed at both younger and older viewers.
The goal accompanying the artists in the creation of the show is to obtain a unique visual-movement layer where gesture is coupled with a conscious manipulation of an object. The viewer is transferred to the abstract world of shapes and things. With their help, the actors create an atmosphere of a grotesque universe of images.
In 2018 “Spectrum” was accepted to the prestigious Teatr Polska program organised by one of Poland’s most renowned theatrical institution - The Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute. Since its premiere, the show has been performed all around Poland, Germany and The Czech Republic.
