Mystery 16 Together! A Circus Invitation
project
Description
The Mystery 16 Together! A Circus Invitation was a series of contemporary Circus site-specific performances held by two European Capitals of Culture with the support of the Creative Europe programme. From the 14th to the 20th of June in Elefsina, Greece, (in the framework of the SYNOIKISMOI A FESTIVAL) and from the 16th to the 23rd of September in Veszprém, Hungary, a new poetic form of circus invited us to put aside what separates us, to meet and create TOGETHER.
The 8-day action involved 20 circus artists from Greece, Hungary and Ukraine, in artistic interventions designed for the urban landscape with the philosophy of Site Specific Performances. The project was curated by artistic director Albin Warette from Toulouse, France.
Circus arts have the power to connect people from all walks of life and create a sense of unity and understanding between different cultures. People and landscapes became one in Elefsina through the co-creation of artists and people in selected parts of the city. At the same time, the Site Specific Performances technique involves works that are not simply presented in a space, but are created taking into account the site - history, architecture, landscape and people - both in their design and in their implementation. "Together! A Circus Invitation" iwas an invitation that brought Elefsina, its inhabitants, as well as artists and fans of the contemporary circus from all over Greece, TOGETHER.
The project partners were the following: Monokyklo Circus (GR), The Hungarian Juggling Association (HU), Culture en Movements (FR), and Kyiv Municipal Academy of Performing and Circus Arts (UA) in collaboration with the European Capitals of Culture, 2023 Eleusis and Veszprem - Balaton 2023. The project was supported by Creative Europe programme.
