Created and performed by Julian Vogel and written and staged by Roman Müller and Julian Vogel, Ceramic Circus is a solo circus piece conceived like a musical composition. On a circular stage Vogel pedals and skates around a swinging ceramic sphere, layering the crash of plates, drum rolls and rhythmic loops. The staging balances virtuosity and fragility, where feats and deliberate clumsiness create a tense, poetic atmosphere.

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.

Co-created by Pascal Gravat and Julien Mages for Compagnie Revolver, “Nu Vite” (Naked Quickly) is a choreo-biography in which a dancer and an author probe time, ageing and the urgent need to seize each instant. The work blends intimate movement and written testimony, set to music by Pierce Warnecke with sound design by Clive Jenkins and lighting by Alessandra Domingues. The 75‑minute performance explores memory, bodily change and the delicate rhythm between presence and loss.
