Cyclopathen-Valsh
by Bikes & Rabbitsphysical-theatre-and-circus
Cyclopathen-Valsh is a contemporary circus piece using Live Music and Trick Cycling. It is an electric guitar concert on a bicycle.
about the production
Cyclopathen Valsh is about a musician and an acrobat's meeting on top of a single bicycle. The 2 protagonists have to clumbsily make it work in the awkward positions because they are sharing the narrow space of a bike together and an electric guitar. This piece is also about the condition of women and the weight they have to carry... literally.
