5.8. – 7.8.2025   I   6.00 pm 
What is a “performance”? A meeting. A memory. An idea. A presentation. In “V_RST_LL_NG” , a single word becomes a kaleidoscope of meanings—through circus, language, sound, and hidden meanings.​

This show is heavily based on German language and requires a very good understanding of the language.

     With disarming honesty and subtle humour, acclaimed circus duo Chris & Iris let us into their world: their life on tour, the physical grind of training, the poetry of repetition, the pursuit of balance—onstage and off. Blending world-class hand-to-hand acrobatics with thoughtful object manipulation, playful wordcraft and bursts of live music, the two artists create an experience that is both deeply personal and quietly profound.

“Astonishing, witty, inventive and beautifully strange – unlike anything else!” Audience feedback

Words becomes a kaleidoscope of meanings, playfully reflected in movements and interactions. In a space that feels both intimate and infinite, “V_RST_LL_NG” blurs the lines between language and movement, fiction and reality, artist and audience. Here, imagination is not just welcomed—it’s essential.

After winning audiences across the globe with their debut “GAP of 42”, Chris & Iris return with a brand-new creation. “V_RST_LL_NG” is a love letter to the magic of circus, the vulnerability of storytelling and the joy of shared experience. We’re thrilled to finally welcome them to Berlin Circus Festival.
