ELEFANT
Zirkus FahrAwaY · Switzerland
A few kilos of steel, wood, and wool. Elefant is an unusual circus performance balancing thoughtful moments with warm humour.
The era of elephants in the circus may be over, yet this good-natured, absurd, almost extraterrestrial giant captures the true spirit of circus - bold, daring, and playful. Like its subject, the performance is big, exceptional, raw and slightly risky, yet also delicate, gentle, and graceful.
Blending visual storytelling with live music, Elefant invites audiences into a world where craftsmanship, imagination, and circus artistry come together.
