Blond & Cynisch - Circusnachten
Fere is a world-famous trapeze artist with wings. At least, that's what she claims. Journalist Jack Walser wants to expose her during an in-depth interview for her series The Biggest Scammers in the World. But when Jack enters Fere's dressing room, her rationality proves unable to withstand the legendary storyteller that Fere is. She talks about her childhood in a brothel, about how she ended up in a cabinet of curiosities and how she learned to fly. Jack becomes so captivated by Fere that she joins the circus as a clown. Thus begins a wonderful journey - from London to St. Petersburg deep into the Siberian tundra - in the hope of finding an answer to the question: is Fere reality or a fiction?
Circus Nights is a wonderful story that shakes reality and replaces fear of the future with hope and enthusiasm.
Does this story sound familiar to you? Which can. Circus Nights is an adaptation of Angela Carter's book. It is an ode to women who take up space and to the power of stories. Because stories will determine our future; whether they are true or not.
Concept, text and game: Remy Meeuwsen, Esther Ymkje van Steenis, Emma Vermeulen | Final director: Jessie L'Herminez
