Blind Gut Company Transparent Surfaces

If everything around us collapsed, what would be left of us? Transparent Surfaces is a breathtaking contemporary circus journey in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Acrobatic encounters between the performers and scrap metal create unprecedented and strange circus art, accompanied by the mysterious sound of a guzheng, a Chinese string instrument.

Transparent Surfaces is a farewell ritual to consumer culture and ownership-oriented worldviews. Four artists and piles of scrap metal come together and are fastened to each other, blurring the boundaries between them. During the performance, experimental circus technique brings the scrap metal to life, builds an altar out of it and bids farewell to it. The lack of conventional circus equipment produces unusual movement and grotesque aesthetics. Barbora Xu’s guzheng music and vocals travel alongside the circus leading the audience and the performers through the stages of the ritual.
