Smooth as fiasco

Smooth as Fiasco is circus as a soggy ceremony, filled with clashing desires, slipping plans and people using everything they have to pull themselves back up. They want to celebrate, sing, seduce, mourn, command and laugh, but above all, they want to keep their heads above the mud.

In this desperate situation, everyone is driven to extremes by their own survival mode. One clings to order, while another sinks into despair, love, compulsive laughter or complete madness. They all respond differently, yet they are stuck with one another like a dysfunctional family. Through acrobatics, juggling, Chinese pole, Cyr wheel, aerial silks, music and movement, they pull one another through the chaos. And as everything teeters and the world shakes to its foundations, one thing remains standing: their motto, ‘celebrate or sink’.
