Plastik will be a multidisciplinary circus-dance performance that explores the interplay between sensitive human nature and the broken systems we attempt to uphold. The artistic proposal is to value our connection to the environment, and to our own body. The performance aims to immerse the audience, creating an absurd and distorted world created by a world surrounded by plastik, where the daily movement become metaphor and symbol for an accumlation, distruction, a space for listening and forgivness. With this work, Verena Schneider aims to expand the narrative form of contemporary circus into a choreographic and performativ approach.
