CIRK-UFF – JOY, HUMOUR AND HYPERBOLE IN LOCAL PRODUCTIONS

In late May, early June, Trutnov hosted the 9th international festival of new circus Cirk-UFF, subtitled Australian Edition this year - chiefly because the programme featured two productions – Simple Space and Jelly or Jam – by the overseas company Gravity & Other Myths. In a public discussion, Libor Kasík, the director of the festival and the multi-functional space UFFO, announced a plan to open a new circus centre in Trutnov for children and professionals to train under top Australian acrobats. The Czech section of the programme did not stay behind, either. It brought life to urban spaces and helped draw the public’s attention to the festival, while creating a friendly community spirit. The main Czech programme offered such attractions as Cirk La Putyka and its show ADHD and the Losers Cirque Company’s Ego. Squadra Sua’s gangster clownery Absolutely was warmly received, as well as The Tricku Brothers’ mixed bill with which they celebrated ten years on stage. This time, Cirk-UFF indulged in humour, hyperbole and the joy of play.
