Next Exit: Paradise
A: Excuse me?
E: Yes.
A: I was told that if I go around the corner here, then continue straight ahead for a couple of miles, I should see an apple tree on my left-hand side. They said that's the entrance to Paradise.
E: Sorry I really don’t know. I thought that Paradise doesn’t exist? A: Believe me, I am sure it exists.
E. Really?! (thinking)
Would you mind if I’d join you?
What is it like in Paradise? Peaceful? Boring? Lonely? Blissful? Where do we find it? We’ll probably end up with more questions than answers. But let’s dive into it and take a look!
Directed by Klaus Jürgens, assisted and directed in circography by Aurélia Brailowsky
Get to know the newest talent in circus
In Rotterdam, rough circus diamonds are polished at Codarts Circus Arts. During Cirque Mania, the 14 second-year students of this course showcase their talent. Under the direction of choreographer-director Klaus Jürgens and circographer Aurélia Brailowsky, the spirited aspiring circus performers create a dazzling group performance, including aerial and floor acrobatics, balancing acts, contortion, object manipulation, Cyr wheel and walking globe.
Each study year, students of Codarts Circus Arts work with experienced directors on a group creation, in a challenge to get to know their approaches and styles. These performances are presented to the public on various occasions throughout the year.
