"Resiste" Les filles du renard pale
„Atemberaubend! Eine unglaubliche Reise.”
Resiste | Les filles du renard pale • 18. – 20.12.2020
www.berlin-circus-festival.de I Tickets: https://bit.ly/32qaYWF
Nachts und in fünf Metern Höhe schwebt Johanne Humblet über das Tempelhofer Feld. Begleitet von einem treibenden Rock-Live-Soundtrack erfindet „Resiste" dabei eine der ältesten Zirkusdisziplinen auf fulminante Weise neu. Sicher und doch zerbrechlich, wächst die Artistin in ihrer unvorhersehbaren Performance über die eigenen Fähigkeiten hinaus.
Resiste ist das erste Hochseilstück auf dem Berlin Circus Festival und besticht dabei mit unglaublich viel Humor, Kreativität, fantastischer Musik und viel Überraschung.
+++ English +++
“Breathtaking! Johanne Humblet takes the audience on a dreamlike stroll.” Dordogne Libre
At night and at a height of five meters, Johanne Humblet hovers over the Tempelhofer Feld, accompanied by a raging rock live soundtrack. Stable and yet fragile, the artist's unpredictable performance grows beyond her own abilities.
Resiste brilliantly reinvents one of the oldest circus disciplines and impresses with an incredible amount of humor, creativity, fantastic music and a lot of surprises.

Ein nicht ganz selbstverständlicher Geburtstag.
5th Berlin Circus Festival – a birthday, which isn’t so self-evident.
•
Wenn man auf berlin-circus-festival.de auf Programm klickt und dann nach ganz unten scrollt befindet sich dort ein kleiner Button mit der Aufschrift „Archiv“. Nach einem Klick öffnet sich eine Liste aller Künstler*innen und Compagnien, die seit 2015 auf dem Berlin Circus Festival aufgetreten sind.
In Verbindung mit dem diesjährigen Programm ergibt diese Liste eine Aufzählung der spannendsten und interessantesten Werke des zeitgenössischen Circus der letzten Jahre. Darüber hinaus beschreibt diese Liste auf ganz besondere Art und Weise, was das Festival ausmacht und welchen Weg es gegangen ist. Heute sehen wir all diese wundervollen Stücke und Performances und es fühlt sich ganz selbstverständlich an, dass Circuskünstlerinnen und -künstler jeden Sommer ihren Weg nach Berlin finden, um hier mitten auf dem Tempelhofer Feld aufzutreten.
Doch so ganz selbstverständlich ist dies nicht. Gerade die ersten Jahre des Festivals waren geprägt von der Auseinandersetzung, was denn nun eigentlich zeitgenössischer Circus sei und geprägt von dem Kampf um die Anerkennung als Kunstform, von fehlender Finanzierung und viel Aufopferung.
Aber mit jedem Festival und immer mehr Zuschauer*innen entwickelte sich ein (Selbst-) Verständnis, dass es hier eine Kunstform gibt, die sich Circus nennt und die so viel mehr ist, als das, was bisher in den Köpfen vorherrschend war. Plötzlich waren da Geschichten, Emotionen, Charaktere und Themen, die bewegten. Und mit jedem Festival wurde die Gruppe der Menschen in Berlin größer, die eine ganz genaue Vorstellung davon hatte, was und welches Stück sie auf dem Festival begeistern wird. Wir haben das Festival nicht größer gemacht der Größe wegen, sondern um die Möglichkeit zu haben die volle Bandbreite und Möglichkeiten dieser Kunstform aufzuzeigen und mit jedem Festival mehr Menschen zu ermöglichen, Teil dieser Geschichte zu werd

„The energy of the five women on stage is mind blowing.“ – DW
"Mosh Split" is a wild, rebellious circus show that impresses with its acrobatic variety. Absurd and bewitching at the same time, the performance is an incredible experience. The acrobatic abilities of the five women, the energy that comes in and a good portion of humor - that is what makes "Mosh Split".

„Mobile“ is a timeless dance, a moment of pure poetry. Seemingly floating, five long metal tubes hang in the silent space. Quietly Jörg Müller enters the room.
Juggling and dancing Jörg Müller moves with and between these hanging, flying and floating tubes and paints a unique, hypnotic and performative work of art.

"A rebellion: artistic, spectacular and disturbing."
RAVEN I Still Hungry • 30.8. – 1.9.2019
www.berlin-circus-festival.de I Tickets: https://bit.ly/2INbgw1
still hungry stages an impressive and moving performance that sincerely addresses the issue of motherhood. With a disarming directness and fearless charisma, the performers of the Berlin collective boldly, cleverly and artistically impressive illuminate the stigmata of the concept of the German word "Rabenmutter".
Authentic, warm and full of great acrobatics and beautiful pictures.

Between virtuous dancing, breathtaking acrobatics and with stunning visuality the two artists tell a touching story of fraternity, violence, forgiveness, and tolerance.
The Cyr-Wheel, a circular metal circus prop, acts as the third partner in the trio and establishes with its relentless circularity the breathtaking aesthetics of the piece.

www.berlin-circus-festival.de I Tickets: https://bit.ly/2HS5A3F
"Flaque" is a pop-star in the juggling world that goes far beyond imaginary boundaries. Balls, bodies and everything that’s not fixed flies beautifully through the air. The three artists break their own rules with nonchalance and enchant with humor and the most enjoyable precision of gesture.
For three years we have been trying to invite these three mind-blowing artists with their award-winning performance and we are more than happy to welcome them finally to the birthday edition of the Berlin Circus Festival.

Don’t be normal!
In this visually stunning spectacle, Cirk La Putyka tells a graceful and profound story about the so-called disease ADHD. The artists take us on a inspiring and touching journey into the depths of human emotions: a mind-blowing firework on stage and in the head.
"Grotesque circus, poetry and painting ... as well as love, the search for balance and dark rage. A journey into the heads of the "others".

Teaser for the 4. Berlin Circus Festival
******* The teaser is here *******
1 month to go to the opening of the festival.
It has been a crazy 10 months of preparation. We have been thinking, creating, debating and developing every minute since last summer. It hasn't always been easy, but we have a quiet definite feeling that whatever is going to happen in one month will be ... unforgettable!
With a similar touch, the festival will grow and have one major change. We will have two circus tents!!! This decision allows us a stronger focus on the artistic work of all artists. We will have several public discussion rounds, the "Meet-the-artist" format, wonderfully curated exhibitions and a festival site, that couldn't be planned with more love to detail. Both tents will host 13 productions and we're happy to welcome Sweden as our focus country this year on the site!
We couldn't be more excited! One month!!!
Please help us to spread the word and make this festival epic. Invite your friends and family, talk about the festival, take part in a workshop and of course: Come and join us - you won't regret it!

Henrik & Louise: "Extreme Symbiosis"
The Berlin Circus Festival is growing:
This summer we will take a big step and set up a second circus tent. It is about giving people the chance to discover or #rediscover circus and to create the space to introduce different performance formats:
Henrik & Louise with "Extreme Symbiosis" • 25.8. & 26.8.2018
"It provides deep and surprisingly moving insights into what the practice of a partner acrobat is really about. It was remarkable to see something so understated - with no stage lights, make-up, costumes, and only a little music - have such a strong emotional impact."eep and surprisingly moving insights into what the practice of a partner acrobat is really about. It was remarkable to see something so understated - with no stage lights, make-up, costumes, and only a little music - have such a strong emotional impact."
Part documentary, part performance, it is a raw and pure performance, that touches the heartfelt essence of circus as well as universal experiences that everyone can relate to.
