The performance Colorsphere (https://cirks.lv/jaunumi/izrade-gimenem-hands-some-feet-colorsphere-somija/), which continues the opening season of the Riga Circus Arena, is a heartfelt story of exploration, change and adaptation to a new environment told in the language of juggling, acrobatics and miracles. Four curious explorers find themselves in the Colorsphere, a colorless world inhabited by multi-headed creatures. Everything changes with the arrival of a colored ball in the world of Colorsphere – an endless series of transformations begins. In the production, the inhabitants of the Colorsphere are represented by the counterparts of a tennis ball machine, which sends balls at a speed of 80 km/h.
In addition, when visiting the show, you will have the opportunity not only to observe the Colorsphere from the outside, but also to enter it yourself – an installation accompanying the show will be installed in the circus premises, which will invite you to experience the reality of the production before and after the show.
Director of the Riga Circus Māra Pāvula: “During the opening season, we want to mark the circus as a family-friendly place where vivid memories of outstanding artistic adventures are created. Circus art can speak about courage, cooperation and change, in a language of movement miracles that everyone can understand.”
The creative director of Riga Circus Mārtiņš Ķibers says: “Following the associations with interest Hands some Feet stage performance, it is noticeable that all their shows are very exciting and successful – both those created for adult audiences and those created for children and even toddlers. Colorsphere is a light and humorous production. Its creators are two couples of circus artists who have small children themselves – and they are able to appeal to audiences of different ages with great skill, and the performances are designed in such a way as to keep the attention of adults as well.
Hands some Feet is a circus group from Tampere, Finland. The artists have been producing shows since 2018 and have performed in many places in Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe.
Visitors to the show will also have the opportunity to view the exhibition of historical posters and photographs included in the program of the opening season Metamorphoses of fun – a material, textual and photographic journey from more than 100 years of circus history to the more recent past (https://cirks.lv/jaunumi/vesturisko-plakatu-izstade-västibas-metamorfozes/).
