O. Žiugžda: The Incredible Circus

The cooperation with the well-known Belarusian theatre director Oleg Žiugžd has proved very successful for the management of the Puppet Theatre in Košice in the past, so both parties agreed to continue it in the 2018/2019 season. The director and author in one person prepared a non-verbal performance for the audience, based on a subtle parody of traditional circus genres. On stage, the actors will set up a real circus tent and gradually lighten the basic circus genres: the illusionist Cat performs tricks with trained mice, the Clown performs with trained dogs, the Torch tames the Cobra, the Ostrich juggles with his own eggs, the Hippopotamus dances on a rope and many others. The framework of the play is formed by three actors in circus costumes: the Director of the Theatre (and also the Tamer), the Red-Haired Clown and Siláčka the Clown, who at the same time make the necessary contact with the audience and give the performance an interactive character. They are seconded by the Fourth Clown in the acting actions. Our intention was to include in the permanent repertoire a performance that can entertain the whole family. The strength of this non-verbal production is its clarity. The theatre wants to present it at international theatre festivals, but of course also at home. An immense strength of the play is the diverse types of circus animal puppets created by the staff of the theatre's art workshops.

The production is suitable for audiences aged 3 and up.

The cast includes Erika Lilac Molnárová, Kristína Medvecká Heretiková, Juraj Fotul, Peter Creek Lilac.
