“Traces” (working title) focuses on imprints humans leave on their environment and explores potential ways of coexistence. The project sets a shared ecosystem among a performer, space, and matter, illustrating how they influence and shape each other. Through the use of clay and human body, a distinct landscape emerges, shaping images of conflict, destruction, and harmony, questioning our awareness of the consequences of our actions. Hristina Ŝormaz started practicing circus and focusing on aerial rope while studying scenography in Serbia. Discovering different physical practices became a way to question human relations with their environment and society, which led her to engage in a circus driven artistic, pedagogical, and social work. Since 2018, she is following doctoral studies in scenography, where she investigates the use of space and matter through a circus perspective. "Traces" is a finalist of circusnext 2023-24. circusnext is a European platform that aims to promote artists in the field of contemporary circus. The Berlin Circus Festival has been a platform member since 2019 and supports at least two projects each year. The WIP evening is supported by the "circusnext platform", which is co-financed by the EU's Creative Europe program. |
