Ensemble Aerials

In her wok within ensembles and compagnies, Jana Korb is searching for interdisciplinarity and transcendation of traditional borders: by combining physical theater with circus arts, dance with aerials and new media…
Thus she creates deep, condensed and touching theater pieces – using aerial arts as her physical expression and narrative.
Her world of aerial theater is painfully human, is about personal dreams and examines pure emotions.

An artistic journey to the time of the very first grand lady acrobats.
Join us in our relentless, artistic, tragicomic journey! We will lead you inside the skin of circus and variety artists and their unusual lives.
Visit with us the grand circus director Paula Busch, great juggler Lottie Brunn, strong aerialist Luisita Leers, and famous clowness… (hmmm??? Urrrg. Really? There was none? … well – now there are!) and others more.

Literature Acrobatics
with a story by Franz Kafka
A trapeze artist had so arranged her life that she never came down from her trapeze by night or day. For railway journeys – as a wretched alternative to her usual way of living – she had to pass the time up on the luggage rack.
But one day, she decided that one trapeze was not enough – she from now on needed two trapezes. “Only the one bar in my hands—how can I go on living!”
