C!RCA
Chamäleon Theater Berlin präsentiert:
Europapremiere "Wunderkammer" der australischen New Circus Kompanie C!RCA
Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 2006 zählt die Kompanie C!RCA zu den Revolutionären der internationalen Zirkusszene. Ihre Shows versinnbildlichen die Idee des „New Circus" und sind genreübergreifende Meisterwerke, die weltweit aufgeführt werden und von Journalisten als „überwältigend" „ausgezeichnet" oder „atemberaubend" betitelt wurden. Mit „Wunderkammer" lädt Regisseur Yaron Lifschitz nun in ein zirzensisches Kabinett der Sinne, in dem es jede Menge Wundervolles, Kurioses und schier Unglaubliches zu bewundern gibt. In diesem Mikrokosmos trifft Komik auf Sinnlichkeit und Erotik auf absolute Körperbeherrschung. Sieben außergewöhnliche Performer balancieren, wirbeln, tanzen und fliegen durch den Raum und kreieren Bilder zum Träumen und Lachen, vor allem aber: zum Staunen!
ab 30.06. - Chamäleon Theater, Hackesche Höfe, Berlin-Mitte
(Vorstellungen bis 19.02.2012)

AUSTRALIAN LINE-UP AT BERLINALE 2012 (9 to 19 February)

Berlinale Shorts Competition

KARRABING! LOW TIDE TURNING (14 mins, Australia 2012)
Director: Liza Johnson, Elizabeth A. Povinelli
Synopsis: A group of indigenous Australians who were forced off their homeland are now living in cramped conditions in a tiny flat on the edge of a north Australian town. One morning a social worker appears at the door and informs them in no uncertain terms that unless their sister, the head of the family, puts in an appearance at the local authority’s offices by the end of the week they will have to leave. She must answer to complaints lodged by neighbours. But where is their sister? She’s gone. Just like that. Nobody knows where she is. The group sets off in search of her. They penetrate deeper and deeper into the bush until they are finally reunited with their family. But their sister is nowhere to be found.

IRON SKY (93 mins, Finland/Australia/Germany 2011)
Director: Timo Vuorensola
Synopsis: Unknown to the world, at the end of 1945, a group of scientists from the Nazi fortress of New Swabia in the Antarctic escaped in space rockets to the dark side of the moon. Here, in complete isolation from the rest of the world in a sublunary military base known as the ‘Black Sun’, a cosmic Nazi Armada of UFOs is being constructed with the intention of subjugating the world’s population. Panic arises, however, when the imminent arrival of a US space shuttle is announced. It’s 2018, and mission ‘meteor Blitzkrieg’ begins. The Nazis land in New York – but secret agent Renate has her own plans …
