SHROUDED is a planned one-hour circus production by Triority Circus that deals with the topic of depression. The aim is to create a piece for theater and big top that uses partner acrobatics, contemporary dance, and physical theater to make the often elusive inner world of depression physically and atmospherically tangible.

In fragmentary scenes, states such as inner turmoil, exhaustion, loss of control, but also moments of lightness and hope are made visible. Movement patterns such as carrying, circling, falling, or resistance are intended to reflect emotional dynamics and make depression tangible in a sensory way.

Triority Circus’s movement language combines acrobatic precision with emotional depth. Partner acrobatics become a physical metaphor: being carried, struggling for balance, suddenly falling, or losing control translate inner states into visible, physical images.

The project is accompanied by choreographer Francesco Sgró, who advises Triority Circus on dramaturgy and choreography. Rehearsals will begin in 2026, with the aim of premiering the piece at the Pfefferberg Theater Berlin in the fourth quarter.

SHROUDED is aimed at those affected, their families, and interested parties, and seeks to open up new avenues of understanding.

Triority Circus has been touring since summer 2025 with the show “LEF!” by WIRWAR Producties. In this spectacular family performance, three acrobats balance on the fine line between danger and reason.

How wonderful it would be if we were no longer afraid and could simply do whatever we wanted! But who or what is stopping us?
“Fear is a bad advisor,” they say, but is that really true? Fear can also protect us from danger and enable us to make well-considered decisions and correct assessments. But what if fear gains the upper hand?

A circus theater performance for adventurers, scaredy-cats, daredevils, and couch potatoes.
