amœba ‘ME MYSELF & EYE’ produced by Christiane Hapt

A circus artist shares her personal processing of an eye disease that has accompanied her since 2021. Vulnerability is not exactly the characteristic that is often seen in an artist on stage, but it is in us, and Christiane shows her (blurred) view of it. Using exquisit object manipulation and video projection, the topics of perseverance, resignation and loss of sight are negotiated on stage in an intimate and virtuoso way.

Premiere was on 13th march 2025, Vienna
