Freak Fusion: Interactive Online Role-Playing Circus Game @ Trafo, 5 February
We are restless, we want to create, we want to participate, we want to prove to ourselves and each other that we do enough, that we are enough.

We have restless bodies, we can’t sit still, we need to climb, jump and tumble. Keep moving, keep exploring, never stop. We have restless legs, that won’t let sleep come easy.

An urge to yawn but in our bodies that creeps, pulls, crawls and buzzes through us as soon as we slow down. In this new circus creation the five creators share their personal connection to this inner urge.

They are connected by a single rope, that helps or hinders them to reach higher. Our restlessness is a double edged sword that seems ever more present in our rapidly accelerating world.

In the online version of the performance, the viewer can choose from which perspective would watch the performance: from the top of the rope or rather by someone standing on his/her shoulders. Artists are the avatars.

Date and time: 

Friday, 5 February, 8 pm

Tickets: 
from HUF 1,500

    If you haven’t been to the circus in a while, perhaps it is time to reconsider. In the early to mid-decades of the last century, audiences were still dazzled by performances featuring trained wild animals such as lions, tigers, snakes, elephants, horses and monkeys.
