BoCirk presents

An enchanting blend of multifaceted acrobatics and live music.
A one-man acrobatic piece by Jindřich Kopidol, under the direction of Jan Jirák, is accompanied by live music and offers unique acrobatic elements with original balancing objects made of pure wood, metal, and hardened plastic.
An intimate circus solo with stunning effects.
The journey of a circus artist is that of a versatile performer, charting a path in the proximity of risk and adjacent to fear. He lets the audience glimpse into his inner world, where he constantly defies the unsteady and unyielding in a never-ending seek for balance. Yet he can change the perspective of his gaze, rising in control of the air and surrendering to earth’s gravity. The whole is a chain of impressive imagery, a melodramatic-lyrical reflection on the life phases of a man who has lost himself and everyone around him. Solitude may create a world in one’s head completely disconnected from the one outside. The artist’s inseparable partners are three musicians: multi-instrumentalists Kryštof Krása, Tomáš Jirák, and singer Klaudia Korbely.
