One of the most significant contemporary artists, Joan Bourgeois, is coming to Serbia for the performance of The One Who Falls on May 20th in Novi Sad.
During his visit to the French Embassy in Belgrade, he spoke about his artistic approach, inspiration, and the boundaries between circus, dance, and the philosophy of movement.
This unique artist—circus performer, choreographer, director, and visionary—blends movement, music, architecture, and poetry, erasing the lines between circus, dance, and philosophical expression.
The performance is part of the Belgrade Dance Festival and the cultural season France in Motion, offering the audience an unforgettable artistic experience that reshapes the perception of circus and movement.
On a floating platform that sways, tilts, and rotates, five performers explore physical forces, balance, and the limits of the human body—a metaphor for the modern world and humanity’s search for stability.
Joan Bourgeois is the first circus artist to lead a National Choreographic Center in France, and throughout his career, he has collaborated with major global names such as Coldplay, Harry Styles, and FKA Twigs.
