The basic concept of the “Horror House project“ trilogy is based on terrifying phenomena that levitate over the circus. “Zodiac – The circle of small animals” is the final part of the trilogy, and it is set through the birth charts of the performers – dealing with the impact of the planets (the fickle finger of fate) on the life of the group and the individual, in this case – the circus artist. The audience is theoretically actively participating in the performance with their horoscope signs, causing changes in planetary energy with their presence. Each performance is slightly different, depending on the constellation of the planets on the day of the performance (especially Mercury retrograde).
The inspiration for the performance, apart from Mila Dupor’s text “Astrological Hermetic Writings”, is also hidden in the opening of tarot cards from the book “La Vie del Tarot”, by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa.
The performance won the “Best performance” award, by the expert jury of the Nišville Jazz Theater Festival 2023 in Niš, Serbia.
The performance in Split is made possible with the financial support of the Kultura nova Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, the City of Zagreb – the City Office for Culture and Civil Society, the City of Split and the Tourist Board of the City of Split.
