This is an experiment. We have some intentions, but just like you we don’t exactly know what is going to happen. “InThisTogether” is a participatory circus show that relies on the audience in order to happen at all. If you choose to be involved, you will experience the trust, focus and joy that is so intrinsic to circus. And yes, you will share some of the risk and responsibility, too.
"InThisTogether" transforms a circus show into an interactive experiment where the dynamics of audience participation fundamentally shape the performance. By inviting spectators to step into the roles of co-creators, the event challenges conventional boundaries and forges a collective journey, offering an engaging exploration of trust and collaborative creation within a circus framework. It starts with a choice, do you participate or watch it unfold?

The presentation delves into the dynamics of trust, risk and communication within circus arts. It articulates how trust extends beyond the physical to an emotional and psychological reliance, challenging participants to trust not only the performers but also each other and themselves, thereby creating a unique, collective experience. By focusing on these themes, the presentation aims to share the profound sense of connection and achievement that defines the circus community, reinforcing the concept of "InThisTogether" as a celebration of collective artistry and responsibility.

The project has been selected by the regional comitee of Circus Next in 2023. Supported by Staféta Program, SÍN Arts Centre, National Cultural Fund, Inspirál Circus Center.

The production has been created with the support of the Staféta Program funded by the Capital Municipality of Budapest.
