Fusskopf loves to dance, jump, run and walk. Yes he loves everything he can do on his feet. He explores all his senses. He does not always know how to use them, but together with the audience he gets to know more about the senses.
Fusskopf is a performance for the youngest audiences, without language but with sound and wonderful music.

“Encore une fois” (Again) is an energetic and playful show that thrills with breathtaking acrobatics and rousing creativity. Three artists, each more adventurous than the other, test the possibilities of the seesaw.
With much authenticity, courage and passion, the three young artists devote themselves to this idea: all mistakes are allowed. The circus, as in life, is about the risk, so let’s fail and start over.
So, they do: mess it all up and start over, again and again, mixing every element from ping-pong balls to saltos, all to the changing tempo of their musical creation.

Room Service is a zany, black humor playlet, diverting the stereotypes of the mother-baby relationship and highlighting the guilty fantasies and impulses inherent to motherhood. The baby is a puppet with a human head and hands creating an absurdly comic character who is moving due to her helplessness in the face of this mother whose exhaustion makes her profoundly unstable. The performance is based on the interaction between the characters, the visual illusion, and the sounds of babbling.

A dancer in a fantastical costume and a guitarist’s improvised tones combine to create a living sculpture which turns gender stereotypes on their head and inside out. In constant flux, they challenge and shape how we see.
A body undulates through gendered signals, adopting fleeting forms which shift from something distinctly feminine through something distinctly masculine and into something undefined. A large muscle bulging out from the leg, a hip which jerks with extra sass and a human form which oscillates between vulnerable and proud.
Genderjoy is a physical and musical collage which plays with the gender roles and patterns which we ourselves help to perpetuate and form – perhaps without really wanting to?
