Called urbanrabbits, the piece is less about rabbits or even urban rabbits, than about a mythical and mystical symbol. The tale is thin and meandering, but that is just enough to direct the complexity of the circus, theatre, music and dance in this ?new circus? work. With the different tools of the circus ? rope, rings, spirals, balls and swings ? as well as the traditional instruments ? saxophone, trumpet, accordion, guitar, bass, clarinet and drums ? a story about chivalry, love, death and rebirth takes shape.
The director Árpád Schilling shows his feeing for timing even in the slow parts of the piece, and the production?s student-like humour puts everything in a good light.
