Kolja Huneck

CM_30

‘CM_30’ is a minimalistic circus, a contemplative walk through the world of colors. The solo piece by the circus artist Kolja Huneck invites you to intensely perceive a fleeting universe. Together with the audience, a synaesthetic color bath is created between contemporary circus and installation art. Poetic juggling is the painting tool in an airy room that is acoustically filled by the compositions created by Rutger Zuydervelt. With CM_30 Kolja Huneck questions the traditional expectations towards circus and juggling and lets the boundary between audience and artist dissolve. The title CM_30 symbolizes the size of the props, various discs and lamps, each 30cm in diameter.

CM_30 is shortlisted circusnext 2020-2021 (project cofunded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union), funded by the City of Munich and coproduced by Provinciaal Domein Dommelhof Neerpelt and PERPLX Festival Kortrijk.

Kolja Huneck in 2007 started juggling balls. While his fascination in circus grew, he also developed an interest in magic and since 2013 he works on combinations of these disciplines. When studying at the circus school, Kolja found his very own object. He works both theatrically with vinyl records and with self-made disques as abstract objects.
