Solita - Cirkanto

Tjok tjok tjok. Who is coming shuffling along? It is Solita! With her cart and her boxes. She talks to herself and sleeps everywhere she can lie down. Is she crazy or something? Hey, what is that? That's not a box! It is an orchestra pit full of trumpet blasts! En Solita doesn't talk to herself! She talks to a tightrope walker and an acrobat! Who would have thought... Solita lives in her own little world full of circus spectacle and music! Solita is a musical object theater performance without words. The intimate acquaintance with the character, in all her crazy loneliness, moves and elicits a laugh and a tear. “Solita is an ode to the imagination. Through refined clowning and figure-theater techniques, Karen Claessens makes everything around her come alive. Circus at its best: small and fine!” - Sander De Cuyper, programmer De Clinch Circus Festival
