Jonas Schiffauer from Hippana.Maleta is a jury member for the 7th edition of Zirkus ON. Jonas Schiffauer was a candidate in Zirkus ON himself in 2020/2021 and was then selected for the mentoring programme with RUNNERS. Zirkus ON is a model project that was set up in 2018 to professionalise the creative conditions for circus artists in Germany. In each edition, three projects selected by a jury are supported for two years. The Zirkus ON programme is supported by an alliance of 17 partners from all over Germany. The support provided by Zirkus ON laid the foundation for the professionalisation of Hippana.Maleta, its development into a label and then for Europe-wide touring since 2022... Now Jonas is looking forward to incorporating his experience into the decision-making and work process. The projects funded by Zirkus On 2025 / 2026 will be announced shortly.
RUNNERS is playing at at.tension! at.tension is a two-yearly interdisciplinary theatre festival at a special location: the extensive 100 hectare site of the Kulturkosmos in Lärz offers a unique backdrop and extraordinary venues for a theatre festival: aircraft hangars, an old runway, various circus tents, as well as diverse park and open spaces. For four days and nights in late summer, the Kulturkosmos grounds will be buzzing with theatre, performance and music, an international programme of experimental circus, rousing street theatre, contemporary puppet theatre and much more. The 10th anniversary will be celebrated in 2024! RUNNERS will be performed 5 x in total from 6 - 8 September.
For RUNNERS, the open-air season begins at the BILDSTÖRUNG festival in Detmold on 18 and 19 May. The festival, which takes place every two years – usually at Whitsun – showcases traditional and experimental forms of theatre and dance, performance and contemporary circus, audio walks and participatory projects in public spaces, and is one of the pioneering festivals for this art form in Germany. Come and see RUNNERS at Spot 5 – Brunnenwiese – on Sat + Sun at 9:45 pm.
