An aerial acrobatics performance featuring two acrobats performing as a duo on aerial silks. Singing blends with the thrill of the acrobatics.

Two women on stage, at times so fused together that they seem like a phantom, a hybrid, a woman-bird or a creature with multiple limbs. Then comes the separation, or the letting go of identity. Whether it involves letting go of oneself or letting go of the other; in both cases, there is grief to be processed, and we must become aware of our relationships with others and the care we invest in them.

Through existential questions, “Las birdies” attempts, in a light-hearted manner, with a healthy dose of absurdity and sometimes a touch of humour, to address themes such as attachment, separation and mutual support via a discipline that evokes a strong sense of empathy in the audience. Hair acrobatics is a very powerful discipline for sharing intense emotions. It allows you to explore parts of yourself, both as an audience member and as a performer, in an intimate way.

Artists

Las Birdies

Nur Cimenci, born in Brussels and of Turkish descent, has a passion for art and the circus. As a self-taught artist, she brings her fascination with human potential to the stage. She studied physiotherapy at the ULB and has specialised in acupuncture and hypnotherapy, disciplines which she integrates into her art of hair and aerial acrobatics. On stage, she aims to share the poetry of life with the audience – a subtle balance between strength, vulnerability and wonder. Paola Caruso, born in Carpi in 1995, is passionate about art as a form of liberation, whether through painting, movement or music. Through the circus arts, she strives to fly and transcend the boundaries of expectation. In 2018, she began training in the circus arts in Buenos Aires, and subsequently at the Flic circus school in Turin. In 2021, she co-founded the company IlTrioCirc, and in 2024 she joined Clara Andermatt’s ACCCA company for the production MUDA. Since 2023, she has been creating the musical and sound world for Sarah Ferretti’s Cosa Vedi?
