Filament

Circus • Contemporary

Inspired by 80s teen films, Filament follows 8 characters and their coming-of-age stories. This new approach to storytelling combines astonishing circus skills with tales of love, self-discovery, acceptance, and betrayal. Mix in dazzling lights and an infectious soundtrack, Filament shines a fresh yet familiar light on acrobatic theatre.

Filament had its official world premiere, headlining the Cirk-UFF Festival in the Czech Republic, June 2016.
