Cyrrealism

Life isn’t always the way we’d like it to be or imagine it. Yet what at first appears to be an unfortunate situation can open up new and wonderful paths. The solo show ‘Cyrrealism’ tells the story of how these paths are discovered and how new doors open up. The Cyr Wheel is a metal ring that normally consists of individual parts firmly bolted together and is used in its stable, round form. Fenja, however, uses her prop without the bolts, making it wobbly and unstable – and thereby challenging the idea of perfection. As a result, her wheel is transformed into a completely different object: at times it is strangely curved, at times it sways nimbly like a snake, and at times it falls apart into its individual parts. The wheel thus becomes a metaphor for the imperfections of life and opens up new perspectives that prove to be beautiful. In ‘Cyrrealism’, a whole world emerges from a single metal ring. The simple perfection of a round ring is challenged and transformed into complex, imperfect chaos. One becomes many, the round is bent, the clean becomes dirty, the confined becomes free. The audience can look forward to fascinating moments of tranquillity, rousing rhythms in movement, breathtaking technique and a poetic relationship between the object and the performer.
