superorganism - Stefan Sing & Critical-Mess

Compagnie Critical-Mess:

Critical-Mess was founded in 2016 by juggler and performer Stefan Sing with the aim of extracting juggling from classical circus and placing it in a broader artistic context.

From an initially loose group that met irregularly for experiments and improvisations, a permanent ensemble of six performers has developed. They work at the intersection of dance, theatre, music, and contemporary juggling.

Superorganism:

Nature has been developing energy-efficient and resource-conserving organisms through evolutionary processes for 4.6 billion years. When these work together, a superorganism emerges with new properties. Critical-Mess takes up this idea in their piece "superorganism" and shows the interplay of seven human organisms whose juggling, underscored by Fabian Laute's electronic sounds, leads the audience on a trance-like journey through the world of evolution and networks.
