Morgana Morandi (Italy) · Miss SBarbie – a punk collective history about our messy bodies
Arial hoop, clown · Creation 2025
Once upon a time dolls allowed little girls to imagine all sorts of worlds. Today there’s Morgana and her 137 Barbies, playmates of imagination and adventure. A universe that brings back to life long-forgotten parts of ourselves. An invitation to reclaim ownership of our bodies.
Morgana Morandi grew up in Bologna and spent her childhood playing Barbies with her twin sister. After a degree in psychology and many years of practice in rhythmic gymnastics, she studied circus at the FLIC, with aerial hooping as her main discipline.
Marina Cherry (Sweden) · AVoid
Contortion · Creation 2024
Born from a fascination with solitude, AVoid explores the mysteries of existence. In an anonymous space, an unusual body oscillates between order and chaos, chasing its fantasies, fears and neuroses. A journey through the mutations of identity, recalling the futility and fragility of the human condition.
Marina Cherry grew up in Montana before studying at the National Circus School in Montreal and ESAC in Brussels. She holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of London. Using her body as a tool to be manipulated, she questions existing methods and systems without relying on any particular ideology. Marina is interested in authenticity, metaphysics, semantics, the grotesque, paradox, absurdity and distorted versions of reality.
