Optimum

A huge machine-like structure and a few extremely athletic young artists: This show is about optimization, about whether you should seek to improve yourself using mechanical devices and prostheses. Is it better to team up with machines or would it be better to equip yourself to fight against such developments?

The circus Chnopf is dedicated to the promotion of youth participation in Swiss circus. Together with theatre professionals and young people, they develop a new and elaborate open-air spectacle each year. This summer they are touring with the show «Optimum» which offers budding artists the opportunity to taste «real circus life».
