\u201cJulieta\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is the story of\u00a0one woman<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 one-of-a-kind, absolutely unrepeatable \u2014 who\u2019s made it through life with a suitcase of emotions, a bag full of quirks, and a backpack bursting with experiences!<\/p>\n

This is a wild, wordless ride of a show \u2014 packed with facial expressions, bold gestures, and twists you won\u2019t see coming. A one-woman physical theatre piece that playfully and gracefully explores the clash between youth and old age.<\/p>\n

lieta, bursting with wit and an infectious zest for life, welcomes us into her tiny flat \u2014 her own personal universe. In her everyday rituals, we witness the many chapters of a life, unfolding, transforming, and sometimes distorting like a funhouse mirror that\u2019s seen it all, and sighs before it squeaks. As her world morphs into a mirrored maze of memories, Julieta doesn\u2019t panic. She keeps dancing.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the life of Gabriela Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s great-aunt,\u00a0Julieta<\/em> isn\u2019t just a performance \u2014 it\u2019s a full-throttle ode to life. Unfiltered. Unpaused. With a stomp and a smile!<\/p>\n

Step into a surreal, crumbling museum where songs, circus, and strange characters guide you through a poetic meditation on time, loss, and the melting point of ice cream.<\/p>\n

A thousand stories drift and intertwine in the piano room. In this phantasmagoria of abandonment, time unravels erratically among dust-covered collapses. Centuries can pass in a moment \u2014 and here we are, amidst the ruins of an old museum, where strange figures wander through overlapping tales.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an avalanche of images, slow and relentless, flowing toward the cold conclusion of an inner winter.<\/p>\n

Ontological musings on death, climate, and the texture of a Calippo ice cream carry both audience and performers on a surreal journey \u2014 one that unfolds through layered characters, unexpected songs, and delicate circus feats.<\/p>\n

Aerial dance meets emotional storytelling in this hypnotic duet about tenderness and resilience.<\/p>\n

When chaos reigns, what does it mean to care for ourselves \u2014 to truly connect with others? How does compassion manifest in the eye of the storm, or when pain becomes part of who we are?<\/p>\n

In an intimate duet of dancer, aerialist, and single rope, a visceral relationship unfolds, woven from trust, resistance, and release. Their bodies intertwine in a spiraling choreography of suspension and surrender\u2014a physical and emotional helix of profound connection.<\/p>\n

“How a Spiral Works”\u00a0 blends hair hanging, aerial acrobatics, contemporary dance, and haunting reinterpretations of Baltic folk songs. It is a poetic act of care and defiance –\u00a0 visually arresting, emotionally stirring and deeply human.<\/p>\n

Created by British director Jason Dupree, Latvian choreographer Alise Madara Bokaldere, and Lithuanian aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte, this debut collaboration resonates powerfully within the contemporary performance landscape.<\/p>\n

Presented at Carnaval Sztukmistrz\u00f3w as part of Baltic Circus on the Road, a project coordinated by R\u012bgas Cirks (Latvia) and supported by the Baltic Culture Fund.<\/p>\n

The modern scramble of haste, isolation, conflict, and the relentless pursuit of success often conceals a profound fear of death. This underlying terror is the core inspiration for\u00a0Itch<\/strong>, a powerful stage production that fuses contemporary circus and theatre. Drawing from psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom’s\u00a0Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death<\/em>\u2014a book that examines mortality through literature, philosophy, and his patients’ lives\u2014Itch<\/em>\u00a0offers a raw exploration of this fundamental human anxiety.<\/p>\n

No Yes You<\/em>\u00a0is a circus-theatre performance rooted in contemporary clowning, where each character is shaped by the personal traits, quirks, dreams and life experiences of the actors.<\/p>\n

Three performers set out to deliver a flawless, highbrow show\u2026 but the universe has other plans. One mistake snowballs into another, and suddenly we\u2019re deep in a delicious storm of mishaps, misunderstandings, and misfired tricks. What should be a polished spectacle becomes a gloriously imperfect mess \u2014 and that\u2019s when the magic really begins.<\/p>\n

Part improv, part choreography, part sheer chaos, No Yes You<\/em>\u00a0is always evolving \u2014 shaped by audience reactions and fuelled by unpredictability. It\u2019s a whirlwind of clowning, physical comedy, surprsing choreography and live music.<\/p>\n

Behind the flops and fumbles lies something sneakily profound: a glimpse into big emotions,\u00a0 tensions, and the tricky business of being human. As roles crack and real feelings peek through, we\u2019re reminded that falling apart \u2014 with flair \u2014 can be its own kind of triumph.<\/p>\n

No Yes You<\/em>\u00a0celebrates failure with flair and invites you to do the same.<\/p>\n
