Circus Box

EVOHK artist-run space, as part of Visual Voices' Vis-à-Vis Nicosia programme, invites you to the opening of Circus Box, a collaborative exhibition and performance by Gabriella Thoma, JugglingCyprus, and QuantumCircus. Through immersive installations, visual archives of the Cyprus Circus Initiatives, live performances and even circus training, this exhibition captures the rich heritage and contemporary pulse of the circus arts, weaving together circus artifacts, local grassroots collectives and an immersive interactive environment that invites visitors to reframe how they see space and movement within a community.

Gabriella Thoma is a cultural anthropologist, a geographer and a juggler with special interest in the circus art as a transformative social tool. She returned to Cyprus two years ago from Barcelona and is currently finishing her thesis in Human Geography and Spatial Planning.

Juggling Cyprus is a grassroots initiative that transforms an underutilized urban space; a public parking lot adjacent to Larnaca’s youth-built skate park, into a vibrant weekly meeting point for play, movement, and community-building through juggling and flow arts.

Quantum Circus is a circus initiative that bloomed two years ago due to the need of creating a circus act and since then it has been growing constantly, having as its main goal to bring the circus art and discipline in the island of Cyprus. People from across the island are working to bring the two communities closer together through the art of circus, with events taking place on both sides of the divide. 

The opening evening on Saturday 3 of October, will feature two performances, finalising its opening day at the beach with fire playing. The installation will remain on display until 16 October for visitors to see how EVOHK is transformed into a mini Carpa in the heart of Larnaca featuring rare circus objects, visual archives and circus inspired art. A roundtable conversation on 9 October will bring together Gabriella Thoma (Artist, Anthropologist), Andria Spyrou (Quantum Circus), Jean Paul (Juggling Cyprus), and Eirene Constantinou (founder of EVOHK and moderator).
