OnE – United in Diversity
Unity in diversity
“Our ability to achieve unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation.” – Mahatma Gandhi
What unites us when we are so different? And how much freedom can a community tolerate? The circus, with its wide variety of disciplines and performers, is itself a symbol of diversity – and this is precisely where “OnE – United in Diversity” comes in: a full-length production at the intersection of theatre, dance, urban dance and contemporary circus.
Acrobatics meets choreography; physical partnership meets the language of dance. Rather than separating the disciplines from one another, the ensemble deliberately brings them into dialogue: different bodies, techniques and experiences are not standardised, but allowed to resonate. This creates an interplay between individuality and collectivity – between the moment when a body unfolds freely and the moment when many become one.
The piece was developed over several years of research and residencies, in collaboration with Sophie Coliendres and Alberto Bertolotti, amongst others. The premiere, as part of ‘Zeit für Zirkus’ at the Pepe Dome, showcases the result: diversity not as a buzzword, but as an aesthetic force – powerful, virtuosic and deeply human.

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.
Breaking & Beats
On 2 and 3 October, something new is happening at the Pepe Dome: breaking, music and creative energy come together. Behind the project are Ali, Gusti and Konsti from the Sankova scene and the Outta Space Crew Munich. Together, they’re bringing their ideas, their experience and their connections to the breaking and music scenes to the Dome. Exactly what’s planned for the two days remains a little surprise for now. We’ll announce the full programme, times and further details as soon as everything’s finalised. Save the Date
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.
