A magical circus performance about losses with music by the American artist Beirut. The work is inspired by the novel “Verzeichnis einiger Verluste” by Judith Schalansky and strives to push the boundaries of contemporary circus.
Through circus, contemporary magic, and object manipulation, Kompani Giraff is striving to find and examine the allure of what has been lost. Four circus artists and an array of forgotten everyday objects awaken in an atmospheric landscape where objects carry memories, dreams, and phantom pains.
Realities crumble, buildings turn to ruins, cultural artifacts are destroyed and animals face extinction. Most of these losses remain unknown, precisely because they are lost, not recorded in either history or memory. These unknowns form the vast sea of losses that we intend to explore.
“In A Study of Losses, we will explore the apocalyptic themes of loss and disappearances from Judith Schalansky’s book, through circus choreography and metaphorical language. The stage is set in a vanished landscape, where circus performers and everyday objects emerge in a twisted, modern ruin. It’s a fragmented narrative encompassing animals, landscapes, buildings, concepts, and memories that are lost to us. The incredible music by Zach Condon, aka Beirut, has become the nervous system of the performance and creates the ground for its choreographic universe. Beirut’s music adds an expansive ambiance and celebrates the beauty of life, reflecting on what it means to be human amidst a sea of known and unknown disappearances.” - Viktoria Dalborg, Director
