The Pourquoi Project

It’s been said that answers are easier to find once you have a good question.

17 young aspiring circus artists and their guides challenge themselves to find some of these questions. On this perilous journey they seek to find answers and re-imagine stories of why things are how they are.

Each year, the students of Codarts Circus Arts work together on a group creation guided by a director. For the 1^st year bachelor students, it is their first opportunity to create a performance as a group. Directed by Thomas Falk, they embark on a 14-day journey to create a fresh show with circus, dance and live music.
