HOW CAN I OVERCOME GRAVITY THROUGH CIRCUS ARTS ?

Discrimination acts like an "invisible force of gravity" that weighs us down in everyday life. The circus fascinates with the feeling of weightlessness, but behind this lies a history of countless setbacks against gravity. When I asked how the circus can help to overcome this gravity, I received two answers: Firstly, trust plays a crucial role. A Successfully executing a trick after numerous attempts fosters self-confidence, leading to inner peace, consideration for others, and the ability to approach situations from a new perspective. Secondly, the community spirit emphasises the importance of working together, especially when training in large groups. Teammates provide not only physical support, but also support, which leads to a relationship of trust that transcends language and gender boundaries.
In a looping animation, the puppet constantly repeats the training. Will the puppet finally succeed in overcoming gravity?
