About the Event
Paradisum explores the myth of rebirth following the silence of a destroyed world, where the means of communication is the body, and the only common language is movement. The creatures of this idyllic existence unfold from the ever-changing, swirling natural forces of the "fabric of life," pulsating around them to reach the anima mundi, the world soul, through scenes of purification, birth, awakening, and ritual. Directed and choreographed by Bence Vági, the performance explores the new possibilities of cirque danse, a genre that combines contemporary dance and circus arts, in search of an ethereal language of movement expressing the concerns of humanity. The show features six world-class circus artists performing six genres: swinging pole, aerial hoop, aerial straps, ladder juggling, drum and dance, and handstand.
