OctOpus
An eight-piece brass band rolls in on bicycles —pedaling their way into the „circus ring“. As they pedal tirelessly, this ride is anything but silent – its loud and lively, just as brass band music should be.
But suddenly, the eight performers transform into a human tower, balanced on a single bicycle and tangled together in precarious balancing acts and daring lifts. Yet, the ride never stops. Always in circles, always with at least one of their sixteen feet on a pedal, and lips firmly pressed to their brass instruments. A symphony of 8 on wheels, a MuCIRcal, or perhaps a fanfare-fueled cycling spectacle circling endlessly.
