Wings In My Heart

past project 2013-2015

Rigolo Swiss Nouveau Cirque lures you, with its recent stage show «Wings In My Heart», into its own world full of poetry and wisdom. Everything centers around the young protagonist’s search for her own destiny. Through thirteen scenes «Wings» inspires audiences to discover the «wings in teir own heart», to spread them, and to fly.

The international cast of artists and dancers shows them how: with death-defying aerial acts, world-class tap and Hip Hop sequences and touching dance theatre scenes. Art objects and installations, developed from scratch for the show, unfold their own life on stage and seem to defy the laws of nature.

The show culminates in Rigolo's awe-inspiring Balance Performance with a feather and thirteen palm frond ribs – «…one of the most remarkable presentations on stages and in arenas the world over.» (Neue Zürcher Zeitung).
