Vivian Friedrich IN RESiDENCE at the School Doctor Puigvert
In a society attempting to control and normalise everything, we should start asking ourselves what trust is and where trust lies. The circus cannot exist without trust. Risk cannot exist without trust. Intuition and feeling cannot exist with constant control.
Using circus language, we will explore what our anchoring point is, and when we can let go of control so we can listen. For some of the time, we will be working with a fragile yet strong material that is glass. We will think about trusting something that could break at any moment, how we sense things, how we protect ourselves, and how we place our trust in something or someone.
Glass can break at any moment, just like peace in the current political situation, or owning a house in Barcelona, or having a stable life... Glass is a symbol of how fragile the balance is between breaking and staying intact. During the process, the circus is understood as the art of the search for human and non-human bodies, as a language of movement and the object as an extension of the body. Our starting point is the idea that reality is a subjective perception, where the physical is real and evokes an effect in us. We explore the body as a sensitive being, both as observer and being observed. From the physical, we create an imaginary world.
