“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.
“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.
