Relying on the two very famous pieces by the Nobel prize-winner Luigi Pirandello Six Characters in Search of an Author and Tonight We Improvise, as well as on a couple of his short stories, the play Circus Pirandello is a comment in its own right, but also an interpretation of the aesthetics of the famous Italian author. All of that through the lenses of a circus and its eccentricity. Instead of the classical screenplay, we are faced with a text-material which is yet to be altered, updated and finished with writing. Instead of a well-tailored play, which is usually a constant whole, a play is created through the principle of laboratory research.

A MODERN, FAST, UNEXPECTED AND ENTERTAINING PERFORMANCE, WHICH COMMUNICATES WITH THE AUDIENCE, BUT NOT IN A CHEAP AND SEXY WAY, BUT THROUGH THE METAPHORS OF OUR EXISTENCE, THROUGH THE METAPHOR OF THE CIRCUS ABOUT THE CONDITIONS IN THE THEATER AND THE CONDITIONS IN SOCIETY.
