What\u2019s more daring than a performer on rollerblades or a bike weaving through a minefield of fragile ceramics? Julian Vogel invites you to a show that doesn’t just play with your expectations\u2014it poeticizes our obsession with risk and ruin. With every breath, movement, and drumroll, the tension reaches a fever pitch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are thrilled to announce the Swish-French “Ceramic Circus” for this year\u2019s Carnaval Sztukmistrz\u00f3w, taking place in Lublin from July 23\u201326, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About this year’s festival<\/h2>\n

Our slogan “Run Away With The Circus”<\/b> is more than just a catchphrase; it\u2019s your official invitation to leave your worries and “to-do” lists behind. Dive headfirst into a world of laughter, joy, and pure spontaneity. Now is the perfect time to start planning your Lublin adventure!<\/p>\n

As always, you\u2019ll find New Circus art filling our city streets and theatrical stages. But this year, we\u2019re making history: for the first time, we are welcoming audiences to the massive Opera Hall at the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures (CSK)<\/b>. This world-class venue allows us to host grand-scale spectacles previously beyond our reach\u2014like the Franco-Swiss masterpiece “Ceramic Circus” by Julian Vogel \/ Cie. Unlisted.<\/p>\n

About the show<\/h2>\n

In this solo performance, Julian Vogel blurs the lines between contemporary circus, visual art, and performance. The tension builds alongside a relentless snare drum rhythm that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

“Does the obsessive desire to see how long a tremolo can last appeal to the audience?”<\/i> asks a reviewer from The Circus Diaries<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The answer? Absolutely. “The show is about obsession\u2014about trying to control the uncontrollable.”<\/i><\/p>\n

At its heart, the show\u00a0is a high-stakes game of contrasts: noise vs. silence, chaos vs. order, and lightness vs. danger.<\/p>\n

The performance unfolds as a series of hypnotic images where precision meets peril<\/b> and control dances with the unpredictable. Surrounded by ceramic plates wobbling on thin rods, Vogel builds a world entirely his own\u2014a place governed by its own logic, where every tiny detail matters and the smallest movement feels like a monumental event.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so beautifully unpredictable that you\u2019ll quickly forget what you even expected to see in the first place. Your only moment of “calm”? A ceramic sphere spinning wildly over the artist’s head, serving as both a mesmerizing centerpiece and a pulse-pounding counterpoint to the action.<\/p>\n

Catch the show on July 25 and 26.<\/b> Tickets will be available soon! Seats are limited, so keep a close eye on our social media, visit our website,<\/b>\u00a0or sign up for our newsletter to grab yours first.<\/p>\n
