Circus Caravana

War breaks out in the country. The local circus is falling apart, and its artists are scattering around the world, looking for a new place for themselves and their circus arena. Who will they meet on their new path? What fate awaits them in exile? Will they be able to put down roots there? The performance, drawing on elements of the world of circus and grotesque, is focused on the problems of refugees and their acceptance. The performance exposes artificially erected walls of prejudice, brings faith in human empathy, and revives dreams. It restores hope for the future in a more tolerant world. Or is it just a utopian bubble?
