contemporary circus - 20 min / 8 min

In the modern world, it is becoming increasingly easier to fall into an unconscious way of living. Through self-awareness, the possibility opens up to become more conscious and mindful, and to actively shape the future. Insights on the path to inner balance have been passed down by various cultures through spiritual movement practices. Inspired by the dance of the dervishes and Qi Gong, the duo embarks on a journey, creating spiraling movements that harmoniously unite partner acrobatics, martial arts, and dance. These unique, flowing movements symbolize the portrayal of two parts of a being: the transformation from unconsciousness to consciousness. Yāna is Sanskrit and means vehicle, or a form of spiritual practice that leads us deep into our own inner world.
