About Us

Flying Elephant

ist eine freie Tanz- und Performance-Company, deren künstlerische Arbeit sich zwischen Bewegung, Tanz, Physical-Theatre, Zirkus und Tanztheater bewegt. Das Ensemble entwickelt Performances orientiert an sozialpolitischen Beobachtungen und zeitgenössischen Fragestellungen.

“We are trying and searching to create images in movement that reflect a thought-process on life and the people we see around us.

We want to find out how people live their lifes and why. Our wish is to communicate our experiences of this „us“ through a poetic exploration.

We strongly believe, art is a creative reflection of everyday-life and has to be in connection with it. Rather than inventing something entirely new, we look closely at what is already there – we are trying to find poetic portraits of the realities that exist right in front of us.

Often it is a conversation. First with people who have nothing to do with our art-work. Then, with each other, with artists and experts from different paths of life. Even in the final presentation on stage, we aim to stay true to this spirit of exchanging dialogue.

Our goal is to invite the observer to question their own life, their own existence and, potentially to find an answer within themselves as a gift, or to return to their lifes with a new impulse and breath of life.

Then, we also aim to make our performances relateable, engaging, complex with a playful hint of humor and emotionally resonant.
Important to say is, that we do it with love and passion and a lot of gratitude.”

Die Produktionen werden in Deutschland, Österreich sowie international getourt. Die kollaborative Zusammenarbeit des internationalen, wie interkulturellen Teams prägen die Stückentwicklungen.
