If everything around us collapsed, what would be left of us?

Transparent Surfaces is a farewell ritual to consumer culture and ownership-oriented worldviews. Four artists and piles of scrap metal come together and are fastened to each other, blurring the boundaries between them. During the performance, experimental circus technique brings the scrap metal to life, builds an altar out of it and bids farewell to it.

Barbora Xu’s guzheng music and vocals travel alongside the circus leading the audience and the performers through the stages of the ritual.
