Circus Zanzara brings its new show, The Art of Making Art, to the Westergasfabriek. A poetic, musical, and humorous journey through the chaos, beauty, and vulnerability of the creative process itself.
A cheerful, exciting, moving look behind the scenes
What happens when the curtains open but the players aren't ready yet? When technique, emotions, and expectations jumble together? And when the line between game and reality blurs?
In The Art of Art, we see a group of artists, musicians, and technicians pulling out all the stops to make a performance a success, while behind the scenes, their world slowly falls apart. The king becomes afraid of the audience, the director loses control, the prince falls from his horse, and the intern dreams of finally being seen.
In the chaos of misunderstandings, changes of costume, acrobatic complications and emotions, something greater slowly grows: a moving ode to collaboration, vulnerability and the magic of theatre.
As always with Zanzara, we immerse the audience in a world of wonder and imagination. Spectacular acrobatics, live music, poetry, and humor blend into an experience where laughter and emotion effortlessly intertwine. The Art of Art invites young and old to peek behind the scenes of the creative process, and perhaps recognize something of themselves along the way.
Spectacle in a homely atmosphere
Acrobats from all continents, a five-star music ensemble (live!). They interweave genuine circus acts, sometimes breathtaking, then touching or hilarious. In short: a guarantee for spectacle in a homely atmosphere. While it may be cold and bleak outside, Zanzara ensures heart-warming entertainment. Nostalgia in a genuine, comfortably heated retro tent.
Zanzara is kitsch, retro, quaint, cosy, and therefore cheerful and occasionally hilarious. The circus experiments with new music, seeks interaction with the audience and doesn't conform to prescribed circus costumes. Zanzara explores other disciplines as well. In the new show, various theatrical forms are showcased, stimulating the imagination. Thus, Zanzara manages, year after year, to create 'something' out of 'nothing'. All of this is presented with the typically relaxed Zanzara living room atmosphere, making every visitor feel at home and engaged. Due to limited capacity it is better to reserve a place in time, usethe ticket link.
