CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS MEETS LIVE MUSIC.
A JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE.
A COLLISION OF WORLDS.

THIS PROJECT EMERGES AS A VERY SPECIAL OCCASION —
ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD SHARE AND COMBINE THEIR DIVERSE PRACTICES
TO CREATE A COLOURFUL SEA OF SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION.

WITHIN THIS IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, AUDIENCE MEMBERS STEP ONTO STÜBNITZ HAMBURG —
AN ICONIC SAILING VESSEL MORED IN THE HARBOUR OF HAMBURG, REPURPOSED AS A CULTURAL PLATFORM.

THE SHIP ITSELF BECOMES SCENOGRAPHY:
FROM THE DECK, THE SPECTATOR IS LED THROUGH MULTIPLE COMPARTMENTS,
ENCOUNTERING DISTINCT PERFORMANCE PHASES IN EACH SPACE.
THE JOURNEY IS UNEXPECTED, COLOURFUL, AND TRANSFORMATIVE —
A TRIP DESIGNED TO PUSH BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE
INTO A WARM EMBRACE OF GOOSEBUMPS AND COMMUNAL ENERGY.

THIS PROJECT OFFERS A UNIQUE DIALOGUE BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND PLACE,
REMINDING US THAT EVERY SPACE IS ALREADY A STORY WAITING TO BE PERFORMED.

THIS MULTIDISCIPLINARY, SITE‑SPECIFIC WORK NAVIGATES THE POETRY OF PLACE,
USING THE SHIP’S ARCHITECTURE, RUSTIC TEXTURES, AND MARITIME SPACES
AS A LENS THROUGH WHICH CIRCUS, MUSIC, MOVEMENT, AND LIVE CREATION INTERSECT.
THE RESULT IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS LIKE A PASSAGE —
AN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL VOYAGE WHERE THE AUDIENCE IS BOTH PASSENGER AND PARTICIPANT.
