Flight of the Escales (Germany/UK)
Based between the UK and Germany, Flight is a platform for artists to get together, exchange ideas and practices and create inspirational and original performance for local and international audiences. With an aim to make shows that question and challenge ourselves, the audience and the world we live in, we are interested in us as humans; the mundane and the extraordinary, the playful and the epic. For Transmission Flight of the Escales will be working on Circus WTF; a show which deconstructs the form and performance of circus; an exploration of the genre and those who live and work in it. By exploring the circus spectacle and audience's appreciation of what this is, we are asking what exactly is it that we call entertainment; why do we relish watching people in the danger-zone and why do performers risk their lives for us?
