"High (on) Fashion" is a contemporary circus project that deals with waste, especially textile waste. It deals with the excessive consumption of fashion and the negative effects it has on our society and uses circus techniques on a six-meter-high Chinese pole and on the ground to communicate. The aim is to raise awareness of the urgency of the issue and initiate a rethink of fashion consumption on a small scale. Therefore, the idea of the project is not just to create a circus show, but an event where the audience is invited to watch a circus show on this topic and then has the opportunity to swap clothes with each other. The audience is invited to embark on a journey of abstract clothing consumption, into a world where clothes magically appear, disappear and fly, pushing the character on stage to their physical and mental limits.
Anyone who would like to is cordially invited to bring along clothes that can be swapped at the clothes swap!
