Baltic professional circus showcase EPICIRQ main programme:
"Eternal Dinner" by Big Wolf Company (EST) - full length performance
A humorous circus spectacle about life, changes, loneliness and dreams offers beauty for the eye, amazement for the mind and gives comfort in what many might fear – the elderhood. "Eternal Dinner" is a story about two elderly ladies, the former dazzling stars of soviet circus, who by now have reached the golden years. Once every year they meet for a feast in a restaurant, allowing them to escape in memories one more time… it feels just like yesterday, still young, still beautiful, still desirable…
For a little it seems like nothing has changed, but the time has done it's job. The fame is only left in photo albums, the reality is loneliness inside a body that cannot keep up with the head anymore… but when the night is young and feeling is right – take a drink, have a laugh and spin the years behind around!
