Momentum
Momentum is a contemporary circus production by Close Call Company, in which circus artists Julia Gut and Jonas Bolliger explore the dynamic interplay between trapeze and floor acrobatics. The show approaches the concept of 'the space in between' - physically, thematically and metaphorically.
Creation 2026/2027
Premiere 2027 at CIRKL Festival in Leuven
At the heart of the project lies the exploration of transitions: the dismount from the trapeze, the leap back up, and the dynamic movements that physically connect aerial and ground acrobatics. Using a free-standing rig and an air floor, Momentum becomes an explosive and high-energy performance, accompanied by live drums played by Jonas Bolliger.
Momentum is designed primarily for outdoor spaces. With a runtime of approximately 30 minutes, the show is especially suitable for families with children.
