Climbing over Chemnitz
A thrilling street circus bringing together architecture and performers
French, Czech and German artists worked together with architects to develop a circus and dance show. It was all about change in all its facets - be it ecological, towards a different climate, economic, towards a more sustainable economy or social, towards benevolent coexistence. The risks that the artists took when they performed gymnastics on street signs illustrated the courage we need to manage this change collectively and in solidarity as a society. Their public performance took place on Brühl, which itself had undergone a major transformation, from the prestigious shopping mile of the GDR to the deserted boulevard of the post-reunification era.
