A fascinating show that will make you stop believing your eyes and start questioning the laws of physics.
This mesmerizing show of optical illusions by Jakub Szwed is a unique combination of circus art and illusionism, in a humorous setting. It is perfect as an element to diversify evenings during official meetings, as well as during parties and family events.
Variete by the Sztukmistrze Foundation is already a Lublin tradition. Every year since 2013, the artists associated with the Foundation have been preparing a circus show with a huge dose of humor. Variete is characterized by the wide variety of artists presented there – acrobatics, juggling, and other typical circus disciplines intertwine with dance, music, pantomime, and more.
Each of the performances is a unique piece because it is created especially for the occasion. The lightness of the form and accessibility of the content attract viewers of all ages and backgrounds, and the remarkable characters and their jokes will be remembered for a long time.
Jemioła & Szwed (Łukasz Jemioła and Jakub Szwed) is an extraordinary circus, music, improvisation, and cabaret duo. Their act is an extremely diverse show full of humor, emotion, and fantastic live music.
Łukasz and Jakub are creative multidisciplinary artists who have been present on the Polish entertainment scene for longer than some of their viewers have been around. Jemioła & Szwed’s shows are always full of spontaneity and the joyful energy that flows from improvisation, while the tactful mischief and charisma evoke the golden years of Polish cabaret.
The gentlemen – together with their show – look elegant on stages, streets, or in café patios. They bow low (as far as their backs allow), and invite you to participate.
Circus Meets Classic is an elegant circus show of the highest quality accompanied by a classical string quartet.
It is a composition that will take your breath away with bravado, but is not without its poetry. The wide range of juggling techniques and acrobatic disciplines presented by the artists reaches even the most diverse audience and pleases sophisticated tastes.
Since 2019, Circus Meets Classic has been charming its viewers. It is a show intended for entertainment at conferences, official celebrations, or anniversaries.
“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.
