Opaque

In between punk vibes, broken glass and wine bottles ; Opaque invites the audience into a dialogue of two characters. They are beautiful through their contradictions, they are fragile, oversensitive, unsuitable, they are like teenagers, trying to find out who they are while dealing with a world that is aggressive to them.

They try to fit in.

The bottles are a representation of a constant violence and chaos around them, in between them, inside them. A chaos they try to explain to the audience meanwhile they are constantly dealing with it, adapting to it. Through tension, absurdity and laughter, this performance is showing their struggle to maintain a fragile balance with who they are and who they want to be.

Are they crazy or is the world around them crazy?

With this performance, we want to bring back the craziness and freedom of the punk circus from the 90s into the contemporary stage of today. What we aim for is an interdisciplinary performance mixing circus, theatre, dance, and live music which breaks the expectations of prettiness that we usually find in a circus show, highlighting the beauty of what is usually considered as ugly or next to the point. Our approach is a re-appropriation of the circus codes and its aesthetics towards a circus that is plural, sensitive and impactful.
