To stay or to Go? new circus 2014- 2015
The head of the circus theater company is Ben Glass, who created the first contemporary circus piece in Hungary.
Firebirds members Gergely Kiss and Zsófia Zoletnik are guest performers in this aerial theater show about migration, leaving, and staying. An amazing dance-circus-theater play on a 10 m high steel construction.
The issue of “to stay or to leave” is a current and palpable problem for everyone in Hungary; the question is a leading social problem. Statistics of the receiving countries show that the number of migrating Hungarians raises year by year. However, personal stories of the migrants are not known, nor are the reasons and motivations behind their decisions. These questions are investigated by a crew called together from various companies in a complex, yet humorous, multifaceted show.
