CASTING CALL
for circus artists!

REPUBLIQUE TEATER from Copenhagen opens a casting call to find 4 circus artists to be a part of the Fibonacci Project 2011 Scandinavian Edition, a multidisciplinary creation and international cooperation project in collaboration with the Canadian circus company LES 7 DOIGTS DE LA MAIN.
THE FIBONACCI PROJECT:
Original idea of Les 7 Doigts de la Main, the Fibonacci Project is an ambitious initiative based on international collaboration and driven by the belief that through artistic expression we can build bridges between cultures and promote a greater sense of solidarity.

The objective of the project is the creation of a multidisciplinary show based on collaborations between artists from different art forms and cultures.
