Lasterhaft

On her purple 7.5-tonne truck, La Tanik stages a powerful solo blending circus, theatre and autofictional comedy. With sharp humour, a horde of trained hula hoops, cucumbers and the ideal co-driver, she brings the life of a travelling artist to the stage – raw, direct, absurd and full of balancing acts. The truck is stage, home and co-performer all at once. A production that activates spaces and creates encounters. Technically self-sufficient thanks to solar power, for public spaces. On the one hand, it stands in a centuries-old tradition, on the other, it is a contemporary and emancipated form of the travelling circus life. A one-woman travelling stage that writes its own story.

La Tanik is a circus artist, cultural educator and street theatre maker who has been living on wheels for over 20 years. Currently in the halls of the IKF.
