Arbores

Geracircus
Selection OCA Doc


Synopsis

Arbores is a multidisciplinary contemporary circus show, where the circus disciplines, tight wire, aerial rope, hand hand, acrobatic dance are contaminated with live music and electronic experimentation. In Arbores the viewer is led into a dystopian dimension where the characters on stage move in a surreal imaginary that lives of references to archetypes and disturbing visions at the center of which is the relationship man-nature. The fundamental theme is the relationship between the two identities which, in a continuous tension, as between opposites that magnetically attract each other, seek new forms of balance, side by side or mutually distant, crossing moments of struggle and opposition.

Company

Gera Circus was founded in 2010 by Sandro Sassi, its founder and promoter. Over time the project has become a connector in the world of contemporary circus that ideas and realizes shows and multidisciplinary performance resulting from intersections between different artistic experiences. Within Gera Circus, artists, performers and musicians meet, research and generate site-specific projects dedicated to heterogeneous contexts and audiences. The continuous experimentation of new expressive forms in the contemporary circus, the search for hybrid languages - between theatre, circus, clowneries, live music, sonorizations - makes Gera Circus an extremely fluid and innovative container of proposals.
