TONIGHT
Discover new circus talent at TENT with our proven Back to Base recipe: one stage, one spotlight, five acts tonight at 8PM!

👉Sara Bärend brings a distinctive juggling style, creating a subtle dialogue of care, detail, and sensation.
👉In the handstand duet by Crias, two bodies merge into one fluid, transforming form.
👉In a small world, everything revolves around a precious ball and collaboration in the globe and floor act by Natalie Aldana Bedoya, Lily Nolet, and Apolline Dubourg.
👉Erin Skye presents a more nuanced and layered approach to aerial straps.
Stay after the show for the Circus Café. In an informal setting, artists and audience come together to reflect on what was seen, thought, and experienced. The evening is hosted by TENT maker Lily Nolan.

THIRD ACT • When two beings enter a parallel universe, their boundaries begin to blur and they merge into one: a homúnculo. This work in progress brings two former classmates back together after a long time apart. They create a physical and poetic togetherness where connection exceeds the sum of its parts.
•
Wanneer twee wezens in een parallel universum belanden, vervagen hun grenzen en versmelten zij tot één: een homúnculo. Een veranderlijke vorm waarin lichamen abstraheren en gezichten en ledematen zich vermenigvuldigen, en waarin handbalanceren een vorm van communicatie wordt. Dit work in progress brengt twee voormalige studiegenoten na lange tijd weer samen. Ze creëren een fysieke en poëtische vorm van samenzijn, waarin verbinding iets kan voortbrengen dat groter is dan de som der delen.
