OMÂ is a circus and chat solo. It’s a self-fictional encounter between a German grandmother and an Iranian grandmother. It’s poetry and punch, contorted nostalgia and trilingual juggling. OMÂ is imbued with the movements of the world and the presence of each audience, shared with self-mockery and generosity.
This is an adaptation residence.
Bolbol Company
Compagnie Bolbol was founded in 2020 by Roxana Küwen Arsalan. Bolbol means nightingale in Persian, but it’s also a common expression for someone who’s talkative, which reflects the company’s artistic universe: poetic but also committed in words. Roxana has been a circus artist and writer for 15 years, performing internationally in a variety of contexts, with both short acts and full-length shows.
