Contortion

Contortion is an extremely rare circus discipline. It requires extraordinary strength and flexibility. Anna Kawiak – a contortionist acrobat who has been training this discipline since the age of 5 – with her act, she redefines the limitations of the human body.

Her show is kept in a pleasant style that inevitably attracts attention of the viewers and takes them to the unattainable world of acrobatic prowess. With the presentation of this act, she won the 2021’s Audience Award during Eastern European Contemporary Circus Festival CYRKULACJE.

Tribute

“Tribute” is a circus and theater performance inspired by the prose of Isaac Bashevis Singer. Half-jokingly, as the Nobel Prize winner used to write, with juggling, acrobatics and other circus disciplines, a story is told. Story about the timeless dilemmas of “The Magician”, about ghosts, about what disappeared suddenly and irretrievably in “The Great Catastrophe”. However, human weaknesses, fears, hopes and joys are still the same and this is what this performance is about.

The musical setting of the show is not accidental. Lou Reeda, Amy Winehouse, The Ramones, Leonard Cohen, Lenny Kravitz, Bob Dylan are artists for whom their Jewish origin was important, they drew inspiration from it, using heritage or rebelling against it. These musicians are strongly bonded with, artists in the performance and singer Jasza Mazura. They share the fact of being “trickmasters”, with the benefits and nightmares of this profession.

Zgubowisko

“Zgubowisko” is a New Circus performance created for both children and older audiences.
It is a story about searching for your own way, about circus and about the artists themselves who present the viewer with the meaning of chasing dreams. Above all, however, it is a show of the amazing skills of the performers woven into the plot.

Juggling, dancing in the air, acrobatics, object manipulation and equlibristics allow the viewer to absorb what is happening on the stage. The quintet that makes up the performance takes viewers to a world where anything can happen.
The work was inspired by Shaun Tan’s book “The lost thing”, which tells about something that has been lost, but also – above all – found.

 

Gradient

The structure of the performance mirrors the reflection on the organism in its biological and social sense. It was the organism that inspired research in the field of movement, movement dynamics and quality, and became a source of questions about the nature of the cause-and-effect relationship. All of this is recorded in the performance.

On stage, apart from various forms of movement, you can see ground and air acrobatics, juggling and optical illusion.

Kolektyw LŁ – “Spektrum”

“Spektrum” is a new circus performance which combines elements of acrobatics, theater, juggling, pantomime and optical illusion. It is a record of artistic search focused on refreshing and innovative use of circus arts with the use of physical theater techniques.

“Spektrum” is a vivid and minimalist show which is revealing the possible harmony between the body and the object. Humor, dynamism and diversity combined with a deliberate game of gestures and hidden meanings create a universally understandable image, directed both to younger and older viewers.

The goal accompanying the artists in the creation of the show allowed to obtain a unique visual-movement layer, where the gesture is coupled with a conscious manipulation of the object. The viewer is transferred to the abstract world of shapes and things. With their help, the actors create an atmosphere of a grotesque universe of images.

In 2018 „Spektrum” has been accepted to the prestigious Teatr Polska program (http://www.teatrpolska.pl/) organized by one of Poland’s most renown theatrical institutions -The Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute (http://en.instytut-teatralny.pl/). Since its premiere the show has been performed all around Poland, Germany and Czech Republic.
