GREAT CATCH
A new generation of circus performers will tour theaters in the Netherlands.
Great Catch is exactly what the title implies, a great catch. And you can experience it know. In The Netherlands a new generation of circusartists rises, who not only have amazing skills but also uses them to create funny, moving and personal theatre performances. The circus coalitie thought it was time to show them to the Dutch audience. They selected three original procutions of new circus talent. Together they will tour the Dutch theatres. An surprising programme full of circus adventure, catch it if you can!
JÚLIA CAMPISTANY
Circus personality Júlia Campistany distinguishes herself by her humorous style on the trapeze. With the personal piece It Happens she gives a disarming look into the life of a trapeze artist, where not everything goes as she wants. Júlia steals the hearts of her audience and with her played clumsiness she creates a smile on every face.
LIZA VAN BRAKEL
She juggles without juggling. This young talent developed her own circus form 'jugglobatics', in which she combines juggling, floor acrobatics, dance and (her own) music. Her act seeks dialogue between the different disciplines.
TEATIME COMPANY
This trio mixes the diverse backgrounds of the artists into a striking new discipline with 'sticks' that they use as juggling object, Chinese pole and dance object. Their funny debut performance Stick-STOK refreshingly plays with the human desire to discover and the effects of that discovery.
