about usWhere does art come from and where does an idea begin? As time progresses, we are looking forward to sharing some more of our thoughts and ideas with you here.
Nominated for the 2nd amateurtheaterfestival NRW, Circe is a poetic reimagining of Greek mythology inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
Long before Odysseus reaches her shores, Circe grows up among the gods of Olympus — admired, isolated, and never fully belonging.
After a betrayal born from jealousy, exile drives her to the island of Aiaia, where gods, heroes, and wanderers pass through her solitude, forever changing the course of her life.
Suspended between immortality and longing, power and vulnerability, Circe must ultimately confront the cost of eternity.
What does it mean to live forever if everything you love must end?
Which art sections do you feel most attracted to and why?
Fun fact: The phrase "Circean poison" has been used with regard to intoxicating or magically captivating things, such as a potion or applause.
What is your artistic poison?
None of us is as alone as we think.
Five people share their experiences of the last three months. A woman finds out that a rodent has moved into her wall and now speaks up every night. A young man tells of the lion that lives with him and is far too often on his doorstep. A poet tells a magical fairy tale about a great love in which nothing is as it seems.
CIRCE theatre presents an evening on loneliness,
about the power of music and the power of theatre.
A living chronicle about a special time.
With a new song by Clara Clasen.
