Last week, 𝗔𝗻𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗸š𝗲 was in residency at circuswerkplaats Dommelhof.

𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 is an immersive circus project in which a young girl journeys through an imaginary world, combining aerial performance, hair suspension, and shadow theatre.

During the residency, Ana focused on the interaction between aerial movement and shadow, as well as developing a rotating platform in the Dommelhof atelier.

At Circuswerkplaats Dommelhof, we believe in circus as a living art form: rooted in tradition, driven by innovation and connecting generations.

Together with Circuscentrum Vlaanderen and CEMPER, the broader circus sector supports a bottom-up application to recognize circus as intangible cultural heritage (immaterieelerfgoed.be).

Last October, festival Theater op de Markt welcomed two reflection days under the title 𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐒 .

Initiated in 2023 in collaboration with this format invites circus companies to step away from the stage and into conversation.

𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 took the shape of two morning conferences, bringing together four circus authors around two distinct thematic focuses.

🎪 ON Contemporary Big Top Circus shared insights from creations conceived for the circus tent, with contributions from Simon Bruyninckx and Marie Molliens .

🎭 ON Circus Scenography gathered reflections by Julian Vogel (.unlisted ) and Boris Gibé ( ), two artists whose work engages deeply with visual composition, plastic arts, and scenography in contemporary circus.
