Digital Soul Protocol – Think Circus!
January 20 & 21, 2025 – Théâtre de la Cité internationale, Paris

La Maison des Jonglages and circusnext invite you to a joint conference
“Autorat and Repertoire in Contemporary Circus”.

Repertoire in the creative circus: Issues and challenges for the sector
Seminar as part of the European Digital Soul Protocol project by Maison des Jonglages The notion of heritage in the circus is still in its infancy, subjective, often recognized and studied only by insiders. The artists themselves are part of genealogies that are just as informal, personal, subjective and unasserted. Indeed, to assert a kinship or a family is still a daring gesture, almost risking losing one’s creative originality, one’s identity as an author. Yet in many other arts and disciplines, such as contemporary art, homages, quotations, motifs, thematic influences, iterations, derivations and detour are widely accepted as forces contributing to the creative process and the inscription of works in a traceable continuum that writes history. Artists, researchers and performing arts professionals examine the issues and challenges raised by the variety of protocols for creating and (re)activating a circus repertoire.
