In this magical puppet show Clara is bringing to life an entire circus underneath her skirt. 

She is the circus director and the circus herself. She is the light, the orchestra, the tent and transformes into all the artists. When the lady in red lifts her skirt, a whole universe is opening up. 

Under her skirt, fantastic stories unfold throughout the evening. The puppets are dancing between her legs, they are conjured out of a hat or emerge from a glove. The red velvet skirt transforms into an illuminated ring, a sensual circus of life where anything is possible.

 

Schoßzirkus immerses the audience in a fantastic, crazy, sensual and loving world full of cabaret, stories and accordion sounds. Along the way, Clara addresses big questions of creation, life and death and all the circus in between. And she persists on the power of dreams and the power of a woman to create her own world.
