RUNNERS is a successful example of the narrative qualities of contemporary circus. (Tom Mustroph, TAZ)
The company Hippana.Maleta promises plenty of fun packed with movement and rhythm in their piece RUNNERS: Two jugglers on a treadmill, running and running and unable to get off, while a musician drives them through a series of games and experiments. What motivates them? What moves them?
In RUNNERS, the two jugglers Jonas and Alex, together with multi-instrumentalist Moisés, explore the real and perceived speed of time. They play with the highly developed skills of running and throwing in an increasingly immobile culture. Central players in the show are two relentless treadmills, which are conducted by Moisés like his musical instruments to initiate and keep going the tension-filled yet grotesquely comical interaction between the three protagonists.
Runners is contemporary circus and can be performed on conventional stages, in tents, factory halls, and also outdoors.
Hippana.Maleta are Jonas Schiffauer (DE) and Alex Allison (IE). Since 2018, the two jugglers have been sharing their vision of circus, poetry, and performance. Moisés Mas García is part of the creative team. After Tunnel (2019), RUNNERS is the ensemble's second piece.
