In Excerpts from Renegade Stages, circus skills meet collective, playful stupidity. The performance draws on the spirit of the renegade open stage, where anyone can perform anything, and where there is space for rough attempts and for acts that would not make it onto a conventional stage. Things can go wrong. Or we can deliberately do things wrong, without explanation or justification. Taking the piss out of ourselves, each other, and the audience is all part of it. When we do stupid things, for a moment we stop participating in the system. Why? We are not saying.
The circus artists of Excerpts from Renegade Stages take on a wide range of roles – from jugglers and drag performers to acrobats and whatever else might come along – performing on stages large and small, at home and around the world, and more recently in their own circus tent. Open stages, circus and juggling conferences, and workshops bring artists from all walks of life together in a creative mélange steeped in absurd self-irony, subverted skills, and playful mockery of themselves and everything around them.
The performance is a mix of Slovenian and English.
