Orbiting Zero is the debit solo by Aleš Hrdlička, a performer, juggler and magician. The piece moves between object manipulation and new magic, with the circle at its very centre. As a geometric form, Aleš Hrdlička explores in detail, testing its limits, deconstructing it and building new images from it. Rather than telling a specific story, he invites the audience to perceive the objects and situations through their own imagination. Listen to more about Orbiting Zero in the CIRQUEON CIRCUS PODCAST hosted by Veronika Jošková Štefanová and accompanied by sound design from Orbiting Zero by Oliver Torr & Jonas Balcar.

Representing the diversity of circus and audiences... Māra Pāvula on Breathing Life into Riga Cirks
If you ever take a walk through the center of Riga, you can’t miss the majestic building on Merkela Street – Riga Circus. This structure, built in 1888, is remarkable not only in Latvia or the Baltic region but across all of Europe. It’s one of the oldest surviving circus buildings on the continent. After a series of ups and downs, it was relaunched in 2017 as a state-owned enterprise. And since then, a lot has changed – a major renovation took place, and circus life returned to the space. Under the leadership of director Māra Pāvula, Riga Circus has become a major cultural hub for contemporary circus. It offers modern circus performances for audiences, as well as high-quality education – for both kids and adults. And what’s more – there’s even an international residency program for artists. Find out more about Riga Circus in CIRQUEON CIRCUS PODCAST, today with Veronika Jošková Štefanová.
