Fringe Festival - Framing Effect - Systema
Framing Effekt is an emerging circus collective composed of Lara, Julie, Marius, and Shalom. They will be performing as part of the Amsterdam Fringe Festival, bringing Systema to the stage of Bijlmer Parktheater. Through merging four different perspectives, they created a symbiotic performance, a collective rethinking and reframing of the circus.
Fringe Festival - Framing Effect - Systema
4 bodies, 1 rope
4 individuals are constantly interconnected by a single rope, forming a complex system of gears and bodies. Each performer represents a part of a greater whole, functioning within a complex system until it reaches a breaking point. As they become aware of each other and themselves, a journey of physical and emotional discovery begins. This chain reaction of events unfolds into an exploration of deep, meaningful contact. They alternate between dynamic actions like jumping, catching, bouncing, and spinning, gradually transitioning to more tender movements such as supporting, hugging, balancing, and melting into each other. This shift from mechanical interactions to intimate connections imprints physical memories onto their bodies, leaving a lasting impression of their shared experience. This journey is not just a performance but a poignant exploration of human connection, trust, and the profound bonds that form through physical and emotional interactions.
