Schubert Theatre, Vienna: ‘Circus Archetypus’

In ‘Circus Archetypus’, bodies, glances, clichés and, occasionally, composure fly through the air – wild and playful, sometimes making you laugh, sometimes leaving you in awe.

In the Schubert Theatre’s circus spectacle, clowns meet heroines, seducers meet monsters, and big egos meet even bigger abysses. Our familiar human archetypes step out of their boxes and wreak havoc in a ring that blends theatre, circus, madness and poetry.

‘It is quite possible that Meusburger has succeeded in creating the first flawless fusion of puppet theatre and circus – and as if that weren’t extraordinary enough, not a single line of dialogue is spoken on stage throughout the entire performance.’ Falter Wien
