Ceramic Circus

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.
