Artist in Residence
The Artist in Residency program is a new initiative of the Budapest Aerial Meeting, hosted and supported by Inspiral Circus Centre and made possible with the support of Teatroskop.
​
Taking place in the days leading up to the annual event, the residency offers selected aerial and contemporary circus artists dedicated time and space for creative research, development, and exchange. The program supports artistic growth and encourages connection with the local scene through a final informal work-in-progress presentation.
​
This initiative aims to strengthen international collaboration and contribute to the development of contemporary circus in Hungary and the region.
SOIE EN SILENCE
Silvana Sanchirico & António Arbués
This project invites us to experience our inner emptiness and vertigo, our states of solitude, sadness, euphoria, joy, peace... States that are often born in silence and can overflow our being. Through the experience of silence and connection with our bodies and emotions, we will move through these states, inviting the audience to experience them with us.
We will fill our bodies with this silence, full of memories and stories, worked through by the resilience and discipline of the internal martial arts, which will bring to our bodies the precision, relaxation, justice and harmony that can be found through the mastery of inner silence. Water will also be present, cradling our emotions with its sounds and used for the sound composition that will envelop the show.
We'll be fusing solo and duo acrobatics with the principles of the martial arts, and we'll also be working on aerial acrobatics, using straps and aerial silks. The aerial fabrics will be 2.5m long, suspended at a height of 8m and completely wet with water, making the void and the space between them and the ground exist in a different way.
FRAGMENTED & DECONSTRUCTED
Marta Matovelle & Milena Marie Hofmann
Two artists, two custom-made trapeze, a joint exploration. Marta and Milena connect through a residency, experimenting with their unique trapezees, merging visions and expanding the boundaries of aerial artistry together.
Her work goes beyond technology and focuses on a deeper exchange of ideas. Each artist brings in their unique perspective and by experimenting, they challenge and inspire each other.
The result of their collaboration is presented in a work-in-progress - an insight into their journey together, a dialogue between two artists and their custom-made trapeze.
