WO IST TOBI?
A tent, a female artist, a male artist, a piece... and then everything turns out differently than planned. The small Swiss circus tells the story of the encounter between two artists in a large theater tent, simply, playfully, and crazily, with soft tones and fine wit. Without glitter and trumpets. The company is one of the classics of the festival, don't miss them!
Experience the world of the circus up close! Here, dreams dance on the tightrope and the stories somersault! The circus FahrAwaY is an event for young and old. In its programs, acrobatics and craftsmanship merge. It all started with a summer vacation adventure: In spring 2010, Solvejg Weyeneth, Valentin Steinemann, Donath Weyeneth, Nina Wey, and Jonas Egli, with craftsmanship, passion, and humor, launched their first tour. Since then, they have been traveling year after year with tractors and wagons between Basel and Bern, Zurich and Jura, showcasing new pieces in the open air. Since 2015, they also have a tent and can perform throughout the year. Each new program originates from their shared life, rehearsals, and work. Alongside classic circus disciplines, self-taught curiosity and the simplest means have been their most important ingredients from the very beginning. From lovingly restored wagons to instruments, they do everything themselves; they build, paint, sew, organize, clean, and repair.
