Cie Pieds Perchés – OK(N)o

Public space/private space/intimacy. Blending circus, dance and physical theater, the site-specific OK(N)o project questions the very notions of private and public space as it attempts to identify the places where individual freedom can be found within these two realms. OK(N)o is meant to be performed in indoor and outdoor environments, in different cities and in varying forms. It plays with the idea of observing and being observed which involves putting the audience in the position of both the observer and the observed.

Length 30-50 min, Fexible in function of the demand Who is it suitable for? For all audience

Balancealots – Link the Click

Work in progress acrobatics, balance, clowning, hand2hand, juggling, object manipulation, outdoor, street arts

Balancealots – Link the Click

In an urge to connect with the environment, the two quirky & colorful individuals show the difficulty of learning to work together by trying to find the balance between the two extremes of social connection: the online and the offline presence.
They drag their wonky kart everywhere they go, bringing life to any street corner, through a complex mashup of skills and live beats to generate positive energy.
The show includes partner acrobatics, live music & comedy to create a spectacle that makes weirdness oddly normal.

Length 30 min Who is it suitable for? 4+

Losers Cirque Company – COLLAPSE

Full show acrobatics, hand2hand, indoor, outdoor

Losers Cirque Company – COLLAPSE

A collapse is a part of life, an experience that destroys, shatters and crushes. A collapse may harden us, strengthen us or just routinely recur without us even realizing its happening. Without collapses, there’s no progress, no expansion of limits, no way to move forward. We are interested in the essence of a collapse, what it does to an individual and what it does to an entire society. Will the society turn its back on those who have collapsed? Will the society take advantage of someone’s collapse or offer them a helping hand?

Length 75 min Who is it suitable for? 6+

Reviews/Awards

“Once again, the Losers Cirque Company is pushing the limits of the human body and the law of gravity with playfulness, elegance and grace of movement. This time, they charm the audience with a poetic tour of life’s collapses which are everyone’s faithful companions since the plays of childhood. The show offers an innovative interpretation of the collapse as a paradoxical phenomenon, one that pushes us down while lifting us up, slows us down while pushing us forward, hurts us while making us stronger. I also applaud the sensitive and spot-on live musical and vocal accompaniment which adds power the overall impression.” – Helena Grégrová, I-DIVADLO

Losers Cirque Company – Audition

As over-the-top acrobatic show as a massaged CV. Losers Cirque Company are bringing the new show – The Competition – and only the audience decides the winner.

“We’ll call you back!” A sentence everyone has heard at least once. Today you’re going to hear it again. They will call you back indeed – if you become the chosen one of the applicants armed with fine-tuned CVs who are just getting ready to fight for… for what? Does it even matter? The winner-to-be now has to hide their true self, their principles, and their self-respect to prove they’re the very best. Or at least fake it until they make it and overcome the rest. Succeeding in the game with no clear rules is not going to be easy. Who is going to show the judges the most delightful cocktail of talent, pretence, and ambition?

Length 70 min Who is it suitable for? 6+
