Triority Circus

Contemporary partneracrobatic trio

Triority Circus is a contemporary circus ensemble from Berlin, consisting of Çiğdem Gerwert, Paula Dieken, and Fryderyk Biehler. In their trio acrobatics, they explore new forms of physical storytelling and shift the classical structures of partner acrobatics. With their division of roles—woman as base, man as middle, woman as flyer—they present a rare constellation that has developed organically from their bodies and strengths.

In their style, they combine dance qualities with technical precision and emotional depth in an organic flow of movement. Transitions between figures, states, and roles are fluid, with deliberate interruptions setting dramatic accents.

They met at the children’s and youth circus. After many joint projects, they founded the trio in 2022 and graduated together from the “Flic Scuola di Circo” in Italy in 2024. Their long-standing collaboration is based on deep trust and a keen sense of each other.

Fryderyk Biehler

Fryderyk only began his circus career at the age of 19, but has been fully dedicated to the artistry ever since. Before Triority Circus was founded, he attended the circus school ‘Die Etage’ in Berlin from 2020 to 2022. In the trio, he takes care of finances and accounting, contributes many creative ideas and always thinks big. With his organizational skills, he keeps track of everything. Thanks to him, training plans, procedures and digital documents are always super organized.

Çiğdem Gerwert

Çiğdem is a hand-to-hand artist from Berlin. She grew up in Circus Schatzinsel, later worked as a social worker with a focus on circus education, and now concentrates on her own artistic career. In the trio, Çiğdem is responsible for the texts relating to the play and its dramaturgical development. She loves to create, but at the same time keeps an eye on the practical implementation and reminds the team what is realistically feasible within the time frame.

Paula Dieken

Paula is a hand-to-hand base from Berlin and has been active in the youth circus since the age of 8, where she discovered her passion for the circus at an early age and gained her first stage
experience. After completing her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, she decided against a traditional career path in order to pursue her artistic career in contemporary circus. In the trio, Paula designs the website and visual presentation, is open to all ideas and often acts as a mediator in discussions when different opinions clash.

SHROUDED - Short

30 minutes
Indoor and Outdoor
6+ years
no spoken language

Shrouded explores the power of human emotions with impressive trio acrobatics and translates the complexity of inner states into movement.

Feelings of inner turmoil stand alongside moments of harmony and lightness. Exhaustion meets cautious regeneration and joy. The three artists circle each other, moving slowly and quickly, flying, falling, carrying each other, and whirling through the space. At times, the group becomes a protective community, then again a threatening entity.

In a time when so much is loud, fast, and overwhelming, Shrouded turns its gaze inward. It invites us to perceive feelings and give them space. A physical piece about humanity, vulnerability, inner strength, and the ability to move on.

SHROUDED

ca. 60 min
Indoor
planned premiere 11/2026

Shrouded develops the existing 30-minute version into a full-length circus production that makes depression physically and atmospherically tangible. Building on the existing material, new scenes are created in which additional facets of this inner state become visible – quiet, fragmentary and multi-layered.

In an extended choreographic process, the trio explores further qualities of movement and dynamics that intensify the emotional experience: moments of perseverance and surrender, of searching and losing, of closeness and drifting apart. Trio acrobatics, flowing transitions, elements from dance and theatre form images that make inner processes physically tangible and open up space for personal associations.

The project is accompanied by choreographer Francesco Sgró, who advises Triority Circus on dramaturgy and choreography.

LEF! by WIRWAR Producties

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.

Cigarett Duet

‘Artists don’t smoke? Far from it.’

Whether you like smoking or detest it, hardly anyone can deny that smoking has a certain aesthetic appeal. Fred and Cigdem from Triority Circus play with precisely this aesthetic in their ten-minute street show. They combine the sensual, sometimes provocative gesture of smoking with the dynamic and elegance of partner acrobatics – an unusual combination that surprises, irritates and fascinates.
