Artistic project

Don’t Forget to Breathe! is a two-person, outdoor, non-verbal contemporary circus performance exploring the relationship between breathing, awareness, and connection. The title refers both to our most basic life function and to a gentle reminder: pause, turn inward, give yourself time—while also noticing and connecting with the people around you.

In a world shaped by constant pressure and an endless flow of information, conscious breathing becomes a simple yet powerful tool—a kind of free superpower—capable of restoring inner balance. The performance explores this duality of breath as both physical necessity and mental instrument.

The performance unfolds around a geodesic dome (7 m in diameter, 4.3 m high) that serves simultaneously as stage, playground, and symbol. Evoking a fragile bubble, the structure can be climbed, hung from, and used for aerial work, allowing a fluid blend of partner acrobatics, dance, and aerial movement.

Accessible to all ages and designed as a 360-degree outdoor experience, the piece invites audiences beyond spectacle—toward a shared moment of presence. Don’t Forget to Breathe! becomes at once circus, physical theatre, and communal ritual: a celebration of the air we all share.
