Acrobatics, laughter and spectacle: street theatre and contemporary circus in the heart of the city centre
The Zsolnay Light Festival offers magical experiences to visitors not only at night, but also during the day, with colourful, international street theatre and contemporary circus performances awaiting the audience in the squares of the city centre. During the shows, performers, jugglers and acrobats demonstrate their impressive skills, while you can also test your diaphragm muscles, as laughter and spectacular movements are guaranteed.
The Spanish Brincadeira team will take the stage in front of the Mosque on two nights of the festival, making their percussion performances special with rhythmic lights and choreographed movement.
The Argentine Duo Laos combines the technique of partner acrobatics with the passion of tango, the lightness of humor, and the rhythms of Latin American rock and ballet.
"Octopus Mama" is an ironic name for super moms for whom eight hands would not be enough to meet all the challenges. In Muruya's performance, we can see an entertaining yet profound presentation about the chaos, joys and pains of becoming a mother.
Nacho Rey speaks with sensitive, subtle means about empathy and forgotten human dignity. His acrobatic performance gives a laugh and a voice to those who are mostly anonymous and invisible in the real world: homeless people, vagabonds, outcasts, people who have been pushed to the margins of society and have "become nothing".
The atmosphere in the Embers Nest will always be fiery, and this year will be the case as well: in the Barbican Castle Moat, the audience will be amazed by the performances of fire jugglers and acrobats.
