zirkus fahraway "elefant" (ch)13. – 16.8.2026 I 6.00 pm
"Elefant" is an unusual contemporary circus piece about circus itself, moving, poetic and full of life.
“What you bring is what the world needs, now more than ever: so much humour, so much slowing down, so much space, so much honesty, so much beauty, so much wonder, so much joy.” Audience reaction |
Length: ca. 70 minutes From age of 6 Language: A little German |

Three artists ask which circus traditions they want to carry forward, and what kind of fascination keeps drawing them back. With a few familiar elements and a touch of magic, they create a wonderfully captivating universe. "Elefant" is the loving transformation of circus in time. There is no animal on stage, but yet plenty of wonder, fantasy, absurdity and an invitation to rediscover circus. Somewhere between quiet reflection and heart-warming comedy, the three circus artists create something a little risky, yet delicate, gentle and graceful. “I laughed, had tears in my eyes at times, and watched in wonder as the story carried us, the audience, further and further.” — Audience reaction FahrAwaY Zirkusspektakel is a small, distinctive circus from Switzerland, bringing together acrobatics, craftsmanship, live music and an unmistakable overall aesthetic. For more than 13 years, FahrAwaY has been creating its own productions for audiences of all ages. Since the very beginning of the festival, we have wanted to invite this special company — and it is a real pleasure to finally welcome them to Berlin with their new piece. |
