ARTos
Foundation and the French Institute in Cyprus, in collaboration with the
Municipality of Nicosia, present “Circus Arts Fest”; an outdoor circus arts performance which will take place at
Eleftheria Square in Nicosia, on the 24 April at 18:00. Two French companies
will be performing on that occasion: “La Main s’affaire”, a pair of
hand-to-hand acrobats, and the “Longshow Company”, offering a contemporary
juggling and graphic manipulation show.
Circus performances and companies:
“All Right!” (30’)
Acrobatic show, by La Main s’affaire
A
turbulent relationship between two artists: technical harmony but ideological
opposition. How can they demystify the entertainment and stimulate the critical
mindset through breathtaking acrobatic lifts? Through the use of humor, a touch
of irony and solid acrobatic skills, the duo aims at showing that there are
numerous ways to watch the flow of information that surrounds us.
“Opticirque” (30’)
Visual illusions show, by the Longshow Company
In this solo
creation, through his own dreams and chimeras, Nicolas Longuechaud draws and
shares with the audience the singular story
of one circus, his circus. Made from collective memory and inspired by almost
true stories, everything mixes up together for the character. Between circus,
cabaret, and fair theatre atmosphere, on the edge between hypnotic and graphic
manipulations, new magic, and curiosity sideshow, this show will open up a
world of wonder around perception.
Free Admission
Circus Arts Fest is taking place within the
framework of the 7th X-Dream Festival
