Diaries in Motion
Four women. Two countries. One common language: movement.
“When the world pulls the rug out from under your feet, it’s good to be able to defy gravity.” What remains when one’s homeland is shattered? And what emerges when four women from Ukraine and Russia take to the stage together – not in spite of, but because of their stories? “Diaries in Motion” opens a window onto four lives in which individual struggles are transformed into shared strength. With daring acrobatics, bodies in flight and the precise language of contemporary circus, Lera Kutsenko, Daniela Levina and Maria Stolbunova create a collage of resilience – one that transcends political boundaries just as much as physical ones. The Berlin-based company Scenic Circus has been working at the intersection of circus, dance and theatre since 2022. Following the international success of “LYALKA” (Berlin Circus Festival, Sziget Festival Budapest), “Diaries in Motion” has been touring Germany and Poland since 2025. What awaits the audience is more than just a circus: it is physical poetry that lingers – powerful, vulnerable and deeply human. An invitation to overcome gravity together.

Two Gather
Circus, togetherness, trust, solitude, being in company. With humour, emotion and the art of the circus, the show TWO GATHER explores various aspects of human interaction. The two performers, Daniela and Jakob, invite the audience to join them in enjoying the fantastic world of the circus.
The circus performer
Once the final curtain has fallen, the evening really gets going. After the applause, an open stage full of surprises awaits: look forward to aerial and floor acrobatics, poetry, live music and many more creative performances. A colourful evening filled with special moments, new encounters and plenty of variety. Afterwards, we invite you to round off the evening in a cosy atmosphere by the campfire, with cool drinks, a great atmosphere and time to sit and chat together.
Slipped
Sit down, take a deep breath, and yet still find no peace. Wars, climate change, the shift to the right, social division, inflation… and then there’s that damned chair, too. Nothing feels the same as it used to. No sense of stability. Just this creeping feeling that control is slipping away – that your own life is slipping through your fingers like sand. ‘Entglitten’ captures this feeling – and transforms it into an evening full of humour, artistry and surprising lightness. With one of the simplest everyday objects at its heart: the chair. But this chair is different. It resists, disappears, reappears, contradicts, wobbles, plays along – and, through elaborately produced animations and mysterious tricks, becomes a living counterpart, an adversary, a mirror. Slapstick meets moments of magic. Surprising acrobatics set against poetic imagery. An enchanting evening of theatre unfolds – tragicomic, intense, light-hearted and yet moving – telling of the loss of hope… and of how to find it again. A moving, humorous journey about falling down, getting back up and carrying on.
Der Pepe Dome als Ort der wissenschaftlichen Forschung
Kann ein Zirkuszelt das Denken verändern? In ihrer Bachelorarbeit untersucht Sigrid Grün den Pepe Dome in München als transformativen Denkraum für einen Design-Thinking-Workshop mit Lehrkräften zum Thema Gesundheit. Der Artikel zeigt, wie ungewohnte Räume Perspektivwechsel, Kreativität und ehrliche Reflexion ermöglichen – jenseits institutioneller Routinen.
