This new creation is somewhere between circus and textile art.
Artists, especially those who choose object manipulation as their specialty, develop a certain point of view on objects. FABRIC OF CIRCUS has set itself the task of examining “costume” from this angle too: what if the body envelope itself carried the object, became the object itself, or significantly influenced the manipulation of the object because it was part of it?
The costume becomes a flexible object that enters into dialogue with the body.
Nevertheless, the costume is considered an autonomous work of art.
