Hard facts
contemporary circus, no use of language, and pay as you can principle so its accessible for everybody, gender equality of positions in the production.

The piece
In 17th and 18th century the precision of the gears of a clock was consi-dered the perfect metaphor of national order. Criticized by Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times (1936), the clockwork man is considered the bedrock of a stable society and the working world. Today a flaunted lack of time/constant activity is emblematic of high achievers.

The piece relates to the defined daily dose of work time and life time. But are they really as separate as we assume? The three artists paraphrase this issue with their own imaginative language of object manipulation. Together with dramaturg Asli Kis˛lal a unique world is created, in which the treasured possession of time is celebrated and questioned.

But do you have time for that?
With artistic skill and impressive stage design the performers tell the story of daily life, which in its complexity and repetition is threatening to eat them up.

COMPAGNIE FENFIRE

FENFIRE, founded in 2004, consists of two core members, Christiane Hapt and Sebastian Berger, both from Austria. Together with Michael Caden Pike from Scotland they work in the experimental transdisciplinary field of juggling and object manipulation. Sebastian and Michael develo-ped most of the common repertoire of their respective masteries.

In TRUST IN TIME.INC the artists restricted themselves to just use staffs in all their kinds for their manipulation. These attributes are rare, even in the international circus scene. Consisting of product designers and circus artists, FENFIRE strives to unite sculptural and dramatic arts in their productions in order to show their audience the verve of object manipulation.
