On Tour

A few kilos of steal, wood and wool. «Elefant» is an unusual circus piece, balancing between thoughtful moments and heartwarming humor. The elephant in the circus has had its day. But this good-natured, absurd and almost extraterrestrial giant embodies very well the daredevil spirit of the circus. Likewise «Elefant» is big, exceptional, raw, a little risky and yet also delicate, gentle and graceful.

Graceful dancers and elegant jumps? Not at all. Lift trucks, tension belts, sledgehammers are at the center of "Ballet". In FahrAwaY's new production, seven artists stir up a lot of dust: a piece of unusual circus, spectacular and absurd, daring and poetic, thoughtful and funny, with gripping, pulsating live music.
