Throughout history, a unique symbiotic relationship has existed between circus and warfare. For their new creation, the Belgian company 15Feet6 uses this remarkable connection as a starting point.

The working title of the creation is We Want You!, a reference to the American propaganda campaign featuring ringmaster and clown Dan Rice as Uncle Sam. They also use the subtitle Make Circus, Not War, because that is exactly what they intend to do.

 

You can expect a refined outdoor performance featuring Russian cradle, acrobatics, and a reinvention of the human cannonball. They steer clear of current conflicts and focus primarily on creating a show that imagines a better world.
