Two circus artists, two styles, one tent performance. SYMBIOSIS is a contemporary circus diptych created by Kolja Huneck and Luuk Brantjes. The show is a deep dive: a search for tension and balance between humans and their natural environment.

Kolja works with objects made from crude oil, creating a world where vinyl records not only play music but become part of intricate juggling patterns. The fragile beauty of the vinyl records meets the raw, robust character of asphalt in an absurd and often humorous dialogue.

Meanwhile, Luuk allows himself to be manipulated by materials. Through acrobatic movement, he explores the boundaries of body and material. He flirts with risk, defies gravity, and constantly teeters between balance and imbalance. Using a specially designed apparatus, he explores every corner of the Dome tent.

In a surreal universe, the artists uniquely examine their relationship with a transient world. Acrobatics and juggling merge into a surprising dialogue between humans, objects, and space. Within the specially designed Dome tent, the audience is completely immersed in this breathtaking experience.

About Symbiosis Circus

SYMBIOSIS is a project by Kolja Huneck from Munich and Luuk Brantjes from Rotterdam. The two circus artists met during their studies at Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam. In 2022, they joined forces to create a performance where their distinct styles merge into a powerful whole. In their own mobile theater, they crafted an immersive show that they are now taking on tour.

Kolja previously performed in Leuven at the CIRKLABO festival with Sawdust Symphony (2022), while Luuk appeared at CIRKL with his solo performance LONE.
