Who’s it for? Anyone who wants to rethink the circus, theatre fans and lovers of sophisticated absurdity.

🎭 What’s it about?

Forget everything you know about traditional circus! The acclaimed Lithuanian company Taigi Cirkas brings its spectacular masterpiece ‘Saucisson’ (yes, that really does translate as ‘dried sausage’) to the stage for its absolute German premiere.

The two exceptional performers, Elena Kosovec and Izabelė Kuzelytė, blend top-class, breathtaking aerial acrobatics with live performance and a generous helping of surreal humour. Imagine a blend of the mysterious aesthetics of a David Lynch film and the utter unpredictability of the theatre of the absurd. Here, the circus props suddenly take command and the performers whirl through the air to regain control.

✨ Why you’ve got to go:

Breathtaking acrobatics: aerial artistry on ropes that will take your breath away. Goosebump-inducing sound: powerful vocals that will send shivers down your spine. Refreshingly different: A visual total work of art that will amaze you, make you smile and give you food for thought. An absolutely unique evening full of energy, magic and a pinch of madness. Grab your mates and snap up your tickets for this cultural highlight! 🎟️

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.

Open Stage

At our Open Stage, the stage belongs to various artists and their current work. The programme features fully-fledged acts, new routines, excerpts from works in progress and experiments that may be performed in front of an audience for the very first time. That is precisely what makes the evening so special: you never quite know in advance what’s going to happen. Different disciplines, styles and personalities come together – spontaneously, surprisingly and with no great distance between the stage and the audience. The Open Stage is a meeting place for the circus community and for anyone curious about contemporary circus. Not a run-of-the-mill evening, but a snapshot of what’s currently inspiring the performers and what they’re working on. Come along, discover new talent and experience an evening that won’t be repeated.

The Pepe Dome as a centre for scientific research

Can a circus tent change the way we think? In her bachelor’s thesis, Sigrid Grün examines the Pepe Dome in Munich as a transformative space for a design thinking workshop with teachers on the topic of health. The article demonstrates how unfamiliar spaces can facilitate a shift in perspective, creativity and honest reflection – beyond institutional routines.
