GARGOT OF BICYCLE | Guixot de 8 (Spain)

interactive installation | duration: 4 hours
Bernardinai park

Guixot de 8 is the first Catalan company to turn the game into a street show. It does so with games invented by the company, built with materials recycled from the clean points. This interactive installation is dedicated to the bicycle, a wonderful invention that has so many roles in our society. An old bicycle is turned into a unique bird, whose egg we must catch with a pair of pliers before it hits the floor. From a few old wheels, a labyrinth is made, and with a few more we have a merry-go-round. All the parts of the bicycle suggest a game that has a challenge to achieve – not an easy one but certainly not impossible!

dance performance | duration: 25’
Vincas Kudirka square

Cia Moveo continues to blur the line between the performer and the spectator and to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction. CONSEQÜÈNCIES is a show for all audiences that explores through movement the relations between these two notions in our everyday life and the accelerated time in which we live. CONSEQÜÈNCIES is an ironic and joyful work on the possibility of being out of step, being late, being wide off the mark, and on the resulting consequences.

12 (Friday) 12:30, 19:00 and 20:00
13 (Saturday) 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00

BOUCHERIE BACUL | Pikz Palace (Belgium)

PLEASE NOTICE! On 13th July, the performance will take place next to K. Sirvydas square (Didžioji str. 1)

street theatre performance | duration: 30’
Tymas market

Boucherie Bacul is an old-fashioned butchery market booth within and around which nothing is what it seems. The rude Bacul family sell their morbid but above all insane merchandise to the passers-by, but to do so they use very strange techniques. It is a deliciously dark sideshow comedy, not for the faint-hearted. Boucherie Bacul is a playful provocation questioning the boundaries of normality.

13 (Saturday) 18:00
14 (Sunday) 13:00

GREGARIOUS | Soon Company (Sweden, Spain)

artistic team: Manel Rosés, Nilas Kronlid
outside eye: Joan Català & Angela Wand
music: Albert Oliveres
props and construction: Ullrich Weisel & Soon Company

contemporary circus performance | duration: 45’
Vilnius Academy of Art courtyard (Maironio st. 3)

GREGARIOUS is not epic, it is not heroic. GREGARIOUS is an honest, sweaty and playful show about the human side of sports. Through acrobatics and comedy, the two artists focus on their relationship and on its constant shifts between collaboration and conflict. They mix a subtle playful style of acting with a high technical level in their circus disciplines: teeterboard, Chinese pole and partner acrobatics.

13 (Saturday) 21:00

EXIT | Cirque Inextremiste (France)

director: Yann Ecauvre
performers: Yann Ecauvre, Julien Favreuille, Laurent Mollon, Étienne Cordeau, Anicet Leone, Serge Lazar
costumes: Solenne Capmas
production: Jérôme Souchet, Géraldine Galloi

contemporary circus performance | duration: 45’
Vingis park stadium

EXIT plunges us into a cinematic universe of anticipation. A group of ‘crazy nuts’ find themselves trapped in the heart of a life-size escape game. Their mission is to escape at any price and as quickly as possible from this world governed by strict and relentless rules. Visually stunning and adrenaline-fuelled performance involves a hot air balloon and elements of air acrobatics.
