This year, the children's and youth circus Rägeboge will transport its audience into the world of fine art. Painting, architecture, sculpture, music, theater, dance, and fashion design will be featured in the new "Kunst-Stück" program.
Art inspires, moves, delights, excites, unsettles, disturbs, and overwhelms. For the French poet Stendhal, it led to an ecstasy of enthusiasm accompanied by palpitations, perceptual disturbances, and exhaustion. This reaction to cultural overstimulation is now known as "Stendhal syndrome." It is precisely these iconic elements of artistic works that make it possible to transfer them to other art forms. This is done in the new program "Kunst-Stück" by the children's and youth circus Rägeboge using circus techniques. Straps, diabolo, unicycles, jumping acrobatics, tightrope walking, fire clubs, and much more are used to support the joyful play with the recognizable. Michelangelo, Vincent Van Gogh, and Keith Haring grace the ring, as do the Statue of Liberty, hip-hop greats, and fashion designers. In this flood of art, one can only hope that the audience will hold their ground rather than stand still.
The young talents at Basel’s circus school, Zirkus Rägeboge, are cordially inviting all spectators to watch their latest 2-hour program “Kunst-Stück” at the Querfeld-Halle in Gundeli. There will be 10 presentations, including some evening shows (19:00) and some matinée (11:00) and afternoon presentations 14:30 & 15:00); check the program for dates and times.
Tickets are CHF 15 for adults and CHF 9 for kids ages 3-16; family tickets and sponsor tickets are also available.
