Julian Vogel
Ceramic Circus
Basilea
For children and families
A charming one-man circus full of poetry, glitter and humour about the pressure to keep up and the way things go. In «Ceramic Circus», Julian Vogel creates a fragile world that is always on the verge of tipping over. Between wonder and subtle wit, it becomes a touching parable about failure, perseverance and the attempt to hold it together at the pace of our times – poetic, virtuosic and surprisingly light.

The moment Julian Vogel opens his delightfully offbeat one-man circus, you are instantly won over. With dazzling skill, he launches into a wildly inventive drum choreography, a virtuosic bicycle act and a glitter-fuelled roller-skate routine – all while setting more and more plates spinning on delicate poles. Meanwhile, the world itself, in the form of a ceramic sphere, circles the minimalist arena, faster and faster, growing ever more threatening.
«Ceramic Circus» conjures a poetic world of balance, rhythm and fragile beauty. The piece is both a gem and a sweeping parable about failure and perseverance – until it breaks. Between wonder and a quiet smile, we witness a poetic clash of precision and chaos – a futile race against the pace of our time, edging towards catastrophe.
With its minimalist aesthetic, this contemporary circus piece is rich in meaning and reveals the futility of wanting to control everything – full of quirky humour, virtuosity and depth.
