Guilherme Miotto: "Dance is an evolution, not a revolution" 

"We all want to play, but labels sometimes make that difficult. Then you start doubting your qualities." Instead, Dutch and Brazilian choreographer Guilherme Miotto (45) wants to break down boundaries and make art accessible to everyone. On Thursday 24 October, his double performance 'Unpunished Youth x Poles' can be seen at Festival Circolo in Tilburg. Guilherme Miotto is more interested in what makes us... 

Anika Baines: "Burlesque and striptease are a power play for me" #circolo

She sometimes sees people drop out when she tells them that her performance is inspired by burlesque. "They often have certain preconceptions about this and think it's 'something only dirty men want to see'." It remains difficult to convince people to take the first step and attend a burlesque show, says Baines. The twenty-two-year-old South African loves...

Why is the largest retrospective on Italian designer Gianni Versace yet on show in Groningen? "Why not?" jokes Andreas Blühm, general director of the Groninger Museum. Indeed, it seems like a bizarre choice, but if you look a little closer, you will discover a few commonalities between the museum in the down-to-earth north and the maximalism of Gianni Versace, who on 2... 

EZ: Onderzoek naar pijn, macht en manipulatie op het grensvlak tussen filosofie en circus #festivalcircolo

De circusvoorstelling EZ trekt je uit je comfortzone en roept ongemakkelijke vragen op, zoals: waar stemmen we mee in zonder het te weten, en: wat doe je als iemand op het podium zichzelf vrijwillig martelt en manipuleert?
