Moss

FOCASA Circus is Tiawan’s oldest and most famous new circus company. »Moss« is a collaboration with the binational German/Taiwanese choreographic duo Peculiar Man. It is inspired by the shared history of five of the artists in FOCASA Circus, who grew up together as childhood friends, »performing« street circus in the back yards of Taipei, then attended circus school together and now form the nucleus of the FOCASA Circus company. »Moss« tells a fascinating and poetic story about the hardscrabble life of kids in the big city. With their remarkable physicality, the performers seem to be able to do absolutely anything with their bodies: from juggling, balancing acts, tightrope walking and entirely individual elements of Far Eastern body and circus arts to stage stunts in the martial arts tradition. Let yourself be seduced by this unconventional piece of choreographic circus theatre!

The European premiere of »Moss« is one of the highlights of the focus on Taiwan at Kunstfest Weimar 2025.
