Jakob Jacobsson (The Netherlands) – Insomnia – Rope

 Insomnia is inspired by the liminal spaces in which time flows at uneven paces, and the subjectivity of time when we find ourselves in them. It is a performance that utilises the physical languages of vertical rope and light design in order to suspend the audience in the sensation that time is not exactly what it seems.

The lights and the rope create sensations and imagery of suspense and fragmentation, and bring into question the length of a moment, and whether we can hold onto time

Jakob Jacobsson stumbled upon circus while working in a jazz bar adjacent to a small theatre in his Swedish hometown. Captivated by the immediate connection to the audience offered by the inherent physicality of circus, and its multi-disciplinarity, he set out to pursue it on his own.

He moved through France, England and The Netherlands, studied at Codarts Circus Arts, and participated in the pilot program of ICCAR, to explore the possibilities of aerial rope.

He’s joined in this creation by Finnish light designer Teo Lanerva, whose experience in bespoke light design within contemporary dance and circus is the skillset needed to create a performance in the borderland between the two art forms.

Oriane Lautel (Belgium) – Des amoures chiennes aux amour-lichen – Static Trapeze

Eco, a one-of-a-kind character, invites us to a family dinner to tell us all about it. Even stuffed with anachronisms, it’s succulent. She’s shameless and voracious. We’re in her shack, which looks like a badly assembled fairground barnum, though it’s actually the ridges of an ancestral mineral. She talks with her mouth full. She drools, we salivate. This is the story of Eco, of Actéonne who, after a metamorphosis, becomes Accettone, of the woman with a hundred eyes who, in several episodes, takes us on this viscous journey. 

Welcome to a world swallowed up by female/queer characters who want to form a whole with their stories, bodies and voices. How desire and violence are housed in the same body. Indiscernible. A chimera body. Algae and Mushrooms. Desire and Violence. My lichen has parents.  

Oriane is a hybrid circus creator and performer. She learned to sew with a diploma in costume design. She tried her hand at research at the Sorbonne Nouvelle. And it was at the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque that she discovered the body machine. Now based in Brussels, she sews all these skills together to create spectacular projects, always in close collaboration. She develops a carnal and radical relationship with the stage.

In 2022, she co-created her first indoor circus show with Camille Granger, Le Cri du bombyx. This project is part of a research project started in 2016 with Anarchitecture, focusing on the deconstruction of the apparatus and the non-virtuoso circus gesture.
