Great Catch

House of Circus presents an explosive mix of circus and drag. In SPOTLIGHT, they throw all their circus skills into the mix to claim that coveted place in the spotlight. This pursuit of perfection doesn’t come without doubts and bruises - but it does come with plenty of humor, makeup, and show.

Knot on Hands plays with the (im)possibilities of partner acrobatics, creating a hypnotic movement language. In Brace for Impact, they discover new ways of moving and traveling through space. In their search for balance, they find out what it means to put their full weight in someone else’s hands.

On a Cyr wheel without screws, Fenja Barteldres transforms the circular ring into a completely new apparatus- wobbly and unstable, sometimes oddly bent, then agile as a snake. Cyrrealism is a poetic metaphor about the imperfections of life.

An evening full of innovative acrobatics, humor, flamboyant drag, and personal stories.
