Berlin’s cutting-edge collective brings this celebrated kaleidescope aerial arts piece, combining art installation, contemporary circus, object theater, textile arts, live music — and lots and lots of wool. A trust-filled performance of connectedness and obsessive organic magic, where the division between object and body become indistinguishable, teems in a massive, hand-knit visual feast.

CHILE/GERMANY

Maraña, a cross-continental collaboration, creates avant-garde puppet theater that examines that connections between humans and the natural world. With a focus on movement and transformation, their work combines puppetry with visual art for a deeply immersive experience. Their festival piece, Organismo, explores themes of life and change through experimental techniques that engage the senses.
