Tiny Circus is a pilot project for a summertime spectacle that will roll from place to place in vintage airstream trailers. We will go on the road late summer, showing videos, animations and life-size puppets - making up a show entitled: "The Other Histories of the World".

 

A group of international artists, writers and musicians have come together to form the circus. We will begin by building the infrastructure - taking apart old run-down airstream trailers, and expertly crafting tiny versions, perfect for a travelling circus. Each pod will be large enough to house an artist, but will also be used for performance spaces and curiousity cabinets as needed. See our designs here.

 

 

While building the pods, we will work together to create animations and spectacles for the show. Once on the road, the pods will be used as part of the stage, with the show projected on several screens. The History of the Universe, The History of Mistakes, The History of Love, of Fighting, of Weightlessness – super-fantastic worlds will be created in every-changing situations before the circus disappears back on the highway to the next town. Just like the best circuses of old.
