Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck graduated 2017, 2018 and 2019 from Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam and became good friends with complementing artistic approaches. Through the process of creating their individual solo pieces ‘Janus’, ‘Cycle’ and ‘CM_30’, Michael, David and Kolja discovered their passion for building and crafting. This is what brings them together to create as a collective.

Michael Zandl is a circus creator and performer from Austria. His work reflects his passion for absurd situations and subtle humor. He finds these tools a powerful source of expression. Technical intricacies and special effects are at the rendezvous of his shows. Building the scenography, props and illusions by himself is a full-fledged part of his creation process.

David Eisele grew up at the black forest near Freiburg, Germany. The passion to discover extraordinary abilities and possibilities of the body and objects are at the heart of his artistic expression and source of motivation. Redefining the Diabolo and translating the emerged qualities of Diabolo and Cyr wheel into different context are in the focus of his work.

Kolja Huneck is a circus author and performer from Munich, Germany. Currently, the focus of his work and interests are on contemplative circus pieces and alternative dramaturgies that stimulate thoughts or provide ephemeral sensory impressions. His signature objects are vinyl records and self-developed disks.

The Guardian
"This is a mesmerising production that transforms the art of carpentry into a captivating spectacle, leaving both craftsmen and spectators in awe."
Broadway World
"They call it a symphony but for my money this has the scale of an opera."
