CirqueMusique Arts Laboratory performance
The musical circus performance I HATE THAT THEY EAT TOO LOUD shows young people reflecting on the world around them. Small trivial things take up most of our day, but, for a teenager, ordinary and familiar things are often the root of conflict with those around us. It is hard to bear when someone near us is eating too loud, taking our things and clothes, listening to loud music or showing off in a silly way when strangers are around.
The performance was developed as part of the project CirqueMusique Arts Laboratory. During creative workshops, young participants shared their worldview and their relationships with others and themselves. The answers showed both hopes for the world they would like to live in, and the things they see as injustices in the current one.
By combining the participants’ opinions and circus elements developed at the workshops, dramatist Ance Muižniece created a story of how various people grow to accept themselves and the world. The road starts with the smallest circle (I as part of a family), leading to a medium circle (friends, schoolmates). It continues to the largest circle (society as a whole) and returns back to the individual (I) with a new understanding of oneself and the world.
The performance comprises four pieces of music, created by composers Linda Leimane, Krists Auznieks, Platons Buravickis, and Santa Ratniece. They are performed and reflected in four scenes by five circus artists and five musicians.
